eSign Centre
From as little as 90p per envelope.
Digital document signing from TaxCalc
The digital age of document signing is here! TaxCalc eSign Centre dramatically reduces the time spent obtaining client approval for tax returns, VAT returns and other sets of documents. Simply send over an electronic copy of the document, ask the client to check and sign – you’ll be notified immediately and you can submit the document straightaway.
Using our tried and trusted SimpleStep workflow, preparing documents for electronic sign-off couldn’t be easier. Clients can sign on any device - smartphone, tablet, laptop and desktop – from anywhere at any time.
How much does it cost?*
You pay by envelope – and can buy envelopes in blocks. The more envelopes you buy, the more inexpensive it becomes.
*eSign Centre requires Tax Return Production, Accounts Production, VAT Filer or Comapanies House Forms.

Help is always on hand
We aim to make our software as easy to use as possible but for those times when you need us, you can be sure we're there. Our support is unlimited and provided at no extra charge.
And in January, when our customers need us the most, we extend our support capacity and hours more than anyone else. Our established team have both academic and practical accountancy experience, so you know that whatever your problem, we can find a solution.
There are many time and cost-saving features thoughtfully built into eSign Centre. Here are just some:
SimpleStep and Check & Finish
eSign Centre workflows are the same as the ones you know and love so well in TaxCalc. SimpleStep acts as your personal assistant, making sure you follow the correct process to have all the information in your envelope. Our intelligent validation tool Check & Finish highlights any errors. Making the whole process efficient and providing peace of mind.
Seamless data exchange with TaxCalc
As you expect from TaxCalc, we’ve made it easy to perform the workaday tasks quickly. eSign Centre will create a recipient list based on client data held in Practice Manager. It will also allow you to generate or add a set of Accounts, Tax Return, VAT Return or Comapnies House Form to a new or existing envelope directly from these modules.
Control Centre
eSign’s Control Centre does exactly what it says and keeps you in control, providing an overview of all your eSigning activities and their status. You can see all envelopes you’ve sent – and to whom. You can set automatic reminders for your clients (if you need to nudge them for their signature!).
Multiple signers. Multiple documents. One envelope.
Often you need more than one signature on a document. The process is straightforward in eSign Centre. Set who signs in a chain order and watch the document go from one signer to the next. Or if you need signatures for sets of Accounts, Tax Returns or VAT Returns, you can simply send them in the same envelope and reduce your costs!
TaxCalc and external documents
You can upload externally-saved PDFs to an envelope as well as TaxCalc generated documents, which now includes Companies House Forms (and Incorporation).
Be part of the signing process
As an accountant you can now add yourself as a recipient on eSign documents, thereby creating a streamlined electronic signing process for you and your clients.
Password protection
With enhanced our password security, you can now password protect your eSign envelopes using the same password as that set for PDF encryption.

Getting started with eSign Centre
Electronic approval for your client documents.
Can I take a Trial of eSign Centre?
Yes. We provide one eSign envelope to try out for FREE, if you’re an existing customer or taking a trial. Once this has been used, envelopes can still be created but you will need to buy additional envelopes to send them to your clients.
How long do eSign envelopes last?
Once you have purchased your eSign envelopes they will remain on your account until they are used.
Can I buy more envelopes before I’ve used up my existing envelopes?
Yes. eSign envelopes are pay as you go, so if you are running low, you can choose from one of our envelope bundles to top up at any time.
Can I change the email settings to be able to send the documents from my own email account?
No. Unfortunately it is not possible at the moment to customise the email configuration. The email sent to your client will be generated by our partner Signable.
Can I send more than one document within an eSign envelope?
Yes. An eSign envelope created for a client will allow multiple documents to be included at the same time.
