Sign engagement letters, tax authorizations, and financial documents online in seconds. Legally binding under the ESIGN Act. Free for up to 3 documents per month.
Tax season is stressful enough. Stop wasting hours chasing paper signatures. SignBolt lets your clients sign from their phone in under a minute.
Sign a Document FreeEvery chased signature is unbillable time. Every delayed Form 8879 is a filing deadline at risk.
Hundreds of Form 8879s and engagement letters need signatures in the same 10-week window. Paper-based signing means days of waiting per document — multiplied across your entire client base.
DocuSign charges $25+/user/month. A firm with 3 accountants pays $900/year just to collect signatures — before any other software costs. That's money that could fund a junior hire.
Clients lose documents, forget to sign, or can't find a printer. Every reminder call during tax season is unbillable time you'll never recover. One missed Form 8879 can delay an entire return.
You need a defensible audit trail showing who signed, when, and from where. Without it, a dispute over a signed authorization becomes a liability issue for your practice.
Why are accounting firms paying enterprise pricing for a simple signing workflow?

Every January through April, accounting firms face a tidal wave of documents that need client signatures. Engagement letters for new clients. Form 8879 authorizations for every tax return you e-file. Extension requests. Estimated payment vouchers.
The old way: print the document, mail it to the client (or ask them to come to the office), wait for them to sign it, get it back, scan it, file it. That process can take 3–7 days per document. Multiply that by hundreds of clients and you're looking at weeks of wasted time.
With SignBolt, you upload the PDF, click to place the signature field, and send your client the link. They open it on their phone, click to sign, and you have the completed document back in under 3 seconds of processing time. That same 3–7 day process now takes 3 minutes.
Our Pro plan at $8/month gives you 50 documents — enough for most small firms during tax season. And unlike DocuSign at $25+/month per user, SignBolt won't break your budget.
Electronic signatures are legally binding in the United States under the ESIGN Act of 2000 and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). The IRS has expanded acceptance of e-signatures for many tax forms, including Form 8879 and Form 2848.
SignBolt provides a complete audit trail for every signed document, including the signer's IP address, timestamp, and a SHA-256 cryptographic hash of the document. This creates a tamper-evident record you can use to verify authenticity if a dispute arises.
For more details on e-signature legality, see our ESIGN Act compliance guide.
All paid plans include a 7-day free trial. No credit card required to start.
