Custom fields

Your firm can create a designated custom field for binders and TaxCaddy client profiles. For example, a custom field can help firms track clients by linking them to an internal client ID used at the firm. Your firm can set up 1 custom field as necessary.
The custom field will appear on the
Create New Binder
window, FileRoom columns, TaxCaddy
Add Client
window, and Billing. Firms can use the custom field category to mark the binder with the correct ID/Information.
