Karbon lacks integrated engagement letters, questionnaires, tax organizers, client portal billing, and reliable DMS, leading to manual follow-ups and fragmented workflows.

Karbon's client portal lacks billing and document upload notifications, and it doesn't natively handle engagement letters, questionnaires, or tax organizers. Integrations with Soraban and Stanford Tax are pending or unclear, forcing firms to use multiple tools like SharePoint which has its own flaws.
