Take Control: Why Your Tax Data Should Always Be Yours
Imagine this: You’ve spent years meticulously managing your company or clients’ tax data, ensuring compliance, and keeping everything in perfect order. But when you decide to switch to a new tax platform, you suddenly realise the harsh reality of Tax Data Ownership Rights, or rather, the lack of them. Your current provider is holding your data hostage, making it difficult, if not impossible, to access what rightfully belongs to you.
Worse still, we’ve heard unsettling stories of a certain company intentionally corrupting customer data when they know a client is leaving for a competitor.
This is not just frustrating; it’s a fundamental breach of trust.
Tax Data Ownership Rights. Your Data, Your Right.
At Konsise, we believe your data should always remain under your control. We built our platform with transparency and user empowerment at its core. Unlike other providers that create unnecessary roadblocks when you choose to move on if you feel the platform no longer meets your needs, Konsise allows you to export all your data anytime, with no hidden fees, delays, or interference.
Why? Because we respect our customers.
The Dark Side of Data Lock-In
Many businesses don’t realise the risks of data lock-in until it’s too late. Some tax software providers make it nearly impossible for you to retrieve your tax data and tax records without jumping through hoops. Others require you to formally request access, delaying the transition and adding unnecessary complexity. And then there are the worst offenders, the ones who deliberately tamper with data, making it unusable in your new system.
This isn’t just unethical; it’s a clear sign that these providers do not have your best interests at heart. If a company believes the only way to retain customers is through manipulation, what does that say about their confidence in their own product?
A Different Approach for Tax Data Ownership Rights
Konsise was built on the belief that corporations and accounting firms deserve control over their own tax data. We understand that your data belongs to you, and you should be able to access and export it whenever you choose without needing our permission.
Our platform provides:
- Instant Data Export: You can retrieve your data at any time with a simple click; no interaction with us is required.
- Full Transparency: No hidden fees, penalties or restrictions if you ever decide to leave.
- Customer Empowerment: We want you to stay because you love our product, not because we make it difficult to leave.
- The Freedom to Choose: We are confident enough in our product that after the 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.
- Continuous Product 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.
Konsise makes it easy to move to a competitor while making them so happy they would never want to.
The Power of Self-Service
Tax management is complex enough without adding data retrieval stress to the equation. With Konsise, you are in the driver’s seat. Whether you need to generate reports, feel we no longer offer your evolving business value and want to move to another system, or simply back up your information, you have complete autonomy.
This self-service model aligns with our ethos: giving businesses the freedom to manage their business and their tax processes their way.
The Bottom Line
If your current tax software provider controls your data access and you are battling to get your own tax data ownership rights, you should ask yourself if they are truly working for you or against you.
At Konsise, we believe in trust, transparency, and putting the power back into your hands. Because at the end of the day, your tax data is exactly that, yours.
