Managing your clients’ property tax compliance needs is extremely complex.
From understanding the unique needs of each industry to managing ever-changing jurisdictional requirements, tax consultants experience every property tax scenario possible. PTMS is an all-encompassing system that files returns for virtually every industry—from state-assessed utilities to small retailers.

How does this help my business?
PTMS has been a huge time-saver for us, from filing returns, the assessments, tax bills — really the whole process from beginning to end. We can prepare two or three hundred returns for a state in four to five hours, and get them out the door same-day if needed. If you did that by hand, you’d need several people on hand to be able to handle that volume!
