What is TaxDome?
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.
What is Payhawk?
Payhawk adds SWIFT payment tracking and a DualEntry ledger sync as ERP coverage widens
Payhawk keeps shipping small finance-control and integration releases. Since late October it has added an activity log for linked cards, a native DualEntry ledger integration, listings in MCP directories so AI tools can connect to it, and end-to-end tracking of outgoing SWIFT payments. Earlier October work covered travel policy checks against market rates, self-serve audit confirmation letters and tax-rate visibility limits.

TaxDome
5.0FINANCE
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
◆ Current state
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.
◆ Where it's heading
After the October push on firm-wide visibility (Work Forecaster, grouping jobs by pipeline), TaxDome is now on smaller workflow fixes that save clicks for staff who live in Jobs, Tasks and Pipelines. The cadence is several small releases a week.
◆ Prediction
More small list and filter fixes are likely, since TaxDome is openly asking users which interface details slow them down. Filters stored only per browser suggest saved filters synced across devices could follow.
Payhawk
5.0FINANCE
Payhawk adds SWIFT payment tracking and a DualEntry ledger sync as ERP coverage widens
◆ Current state
Payhawk keeps shipping small finance-control and integration releases. Since late October it has added an activity log for linked cards, a native DualEntry ledger integration, listings in MCP directories so AI tools can connect to it, and end-to-end tracking of outgoing SWIFT payments. Earlier October work covered travel policy checks against market rates, self-serve audit confirmation letters and tax-rate visibility limits.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is steady: one more accounting system per month (NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, Rillet, now DualEntry) plus controls that let finance see who changed what and where money is. The MCP listing is a first, thinly described step toward AI assistants reaching Payhawk data.
◆ Prediction
Expect further ERP and ledger connectors and more audit-trail views across cards and payments. The entries say too little about the MCP listing to predict whether a fuller AI integration follows.
