Why Flexibility in Your Tax Software Matters
Sarah sat at her desk, staring at an email from her practise management software provider. Another renewal notice. Another year-long commitment. She sighed, remembering how excited she had been when they first signed up. The software promised efficiency, accuracy, and seamless integration. But now? The updates were sluggish, support was slow, and hidden fees kept cropping up.
She wanted to leave. But there was a problem.
Her provider had locked her into another 12-month contract, and she had to give 6 months’ notice on top of that, so it meant she was stuck for another 18 months.
It felt like being trapped in a gym membership she no longer used, except this wasn’t about unused weights and treadmills; it was about her business and clients’ tax and secretarial compliance. Frustrated, she thought about all the other services in her life that she could cancel with a simple notice: Netflix, her cloud storage, even her accounting software. So why was her practise management software any different?
The World Has Moved On. So Should Your Practise Management Software
Long-term contracts used to be the norm, but then monopolies were also tolerated at one point. But in today’s world, corporate businesses, accounting firms and people demand flexibility. Whether it’s software, entertainment, or professional services, an expectation exists to have the freedom to stay with a provider because they love the service, not because they’re forced to.
At Konsise, we believe that if a software platform is truly valuable, customers should have the right to leave anytime they way. That’s why, after an initial 12-month commitment, we offer a simple month-to-month contract. If your business needs change, or if you find a better solution, you can leave with just 30 days’ notice. No hidden penalties. No fine print.
Why Month-to-Month Contracts Make Sense
1. Freedom to Choose
Firms’ needs are continuously evolving. What worked for you last year may no longer be the best fit today. With a month-to-month contract, you’re in control. If your current provider stops delivering value, you’re free to move on.
2. Lower Financial Risk
Annual contracts often require a hefty upfront investment, locking you in regardless of whether the service continues to meet expectations. A monthly subscription allows you to test and adjust without the fear of wasting your budget on a tool that no longer works for you.
3. Encourages Continuous Improvement
When software providers know you can leave at any time, they have a greater incentive to keep innovating, improving, and offering top-tier features, functionality and customer support. We want our clients to stay because they love Konsise, not because they’re legally obligated to.
4. No More Vendor Hostage Situations
With some providers, cancelling feels impossible. Lengthy contracts, termination fees, and migration headaches keep businesses stuck. But switching software should be as easy as unsubscribing from a streaming service. If you decide Konsise isn’t the right fit, we make it easy to leave, no hard feelings (although clients leaving is as rare as a government tax-cut).
The Future of Tax Compliance is Flexible
Sarah wished she had known about Konsise sooner. It is a tax software provider that actually puts its customers first. That’s the way it should be. She made a note to check out Konsise’s platform; after all, she had nothing to lose, and they even offered her a free 45-day trial before any money changed hands.
If you’re tired of being locked into a tax software contract that no longer serves you, maybe it’s time to make the switch. Experience the freedom of a provider that earns your business every month.
At Konsise, we believe in earning your trust, not demanding your commitment.
