What Paperwork Problems Are Slowing Down Finance & Accounting Teams Right Now?
Finance & Accounting organizations waste hours every week chasing signatures, managing document versions, and dealing with compliance gaps caused by paper-based or outdated digital workflows. These are the most common bottlenecks.
Engagement letters sit unsigned for days while deadlines approach
speedWhen engagement letters are sent via email as PDF attachments, recipients need to download, print, sign, scan, and email back. Most people do not complete this workflow on the same day — if they complete it at all. Meanwhile, deadlines approach and the finance & accounting team spends time sending follow-up emails instead of doing productive work.
No centralized system to track which irs form 8879 are signed
visibilityWithout a tracking dashboard, finance & accounting teams piece together document status from email threads and file folders. The question 'Has this been signed?' should take 2 seconds to answer from a dashboard — not 10 minutes of searching through email chains and shared drives.
Compliance documentation has gaps that auditors find
complianceSOX compliance compliance requires signed acknowledgments, training records, and documented policies. When these are scattered across filing cabinets and email, auditors find gaps. Every gap is a potential finding, fine, or corrective action — and the cost of remediation always exceeds the cost of getting it right the first time.
Per-user e-signature costs scale with your team and do not make sense
costDocuSign charges $25-50 per user per month. A 10-person finance & accounting team pays $250-500/month for the privilege of sending documents electronically — and hits envelope limits during busy periods. For growing teams, this cost model is unsustainable. Flat-rate unlimited pricing makes more financial sense.
Remote and mobile team members cannot sign paper documents
accessFinance & Accounting teams increasingly work remotely, travel to client sites, or operate from multiple locations. Paper-based signing requires physical presence. When team members or clients are mobile, the only practical solution is electronic signing that works on any phone, tablet, or laptop from any location.
How Do Accounting Firms Use BoloSign During Tax Season and Year-Round?
BoloSign helps finance & accounting teams eliminate paperwork bottlenecks by replacing manual document signing with instant electronic signatures. Teams create reusable templates for their most common finance & accounting documents, send them for signing via email or SMS, and track completion in real time through Google Sheets integration — all from one platform starting at $49/month.
Create reusable templates for every finance & accounting document type
Build your finance & accounting template library once and reuse forever. Upload your engagement letters, place signature and date fields, save as template, and send to any recipient in 10 seconds. BoloSign supports unlimited templates on the Team plan ($49/mo) — create templates for engagement letters, irs form 8879, financial statements and every other document your team uses regularly.
Send engagement letters for instant mobile signing
Upload your engagement letters PDF, place signature fields, and send via email or SMS. Recipients sign on their phone in under 2 minutes — no app download, no printing, no scanning. BoloSign's mobile-responsive signing works on every iPhone, Android, tablet, and desktop.
Distribute irs form 8879 to hundreds of recipients via Bulk Send
Upload a CSV with recipient names and emails, and BoloSign sends personalized irs form 8879 to every person in one batch. Each recipient gets their own copy with their specific details pre-filled. Send to 10, 100, or 500 people simultaneously.

Set up signing order so each finance & accounting document goes through the right approval chain. Signer 1 receives the document first, signs, and it automatically advances to Signer 2, then Signer 3. No one signs out of order, and you see real-time status for every signer.
Track every finance & accounting document in Google Sheets automatically

What Our Customers Say
“We switched from DocuSign to BoloSign because we were paying $400/month for a 10-person team and hitting envelope limits constantly. BoloSign gives us unlimited engagement letters and irs form 8879 for $49/month flat. The templates save us 30+ minutes per day — we set them up once with all the right fields and now anyone on the team can send a perfectly formatted engagement letters in under 10 seconds. The Google Sheets integration was the surprise winner — we built a live document tracker without writing a single line of code.”

Managing Partner, Finance & Accounting, Seattle, WA
“What sold me on BoloSign was the Bulk Send feature. During our busy season, we need to send irs form 8879 to 50-100 people at once. On our old platform, that meant 100 individual sends with manual data entry each time. Now I upload a CSV and everything goes out in one click — personalized for each recipient. The audit trail has also been critical for our sox compliance compliance documentation. Auditors love the timestamped records.”
Amanda M.
Director, Finance & Accounting, Atlanta, GA
“The mobile signing experience is what our clients comment on most. They receive an SMS, tap the link, sign in under 90 seconds, and they are done. No app download, no account creation, no friction. Before BoloSign, getting signatures back on engagement letters took an average of 3 days. Now it is under 4 hours. For $49/month with unlimited everything, it is not even a close comparison to what we were paying before. I wish we had switched sooner.”
