Bring your book

Import your firm from last year's returns.

  • Drop a client-list CSV and a pile of prior-year return PDFs.
  • Arrive extracts EIN, owners, addresses, and return type from each.
  • Then matches every PDF to a client, ready to import in one click.

Unmatched land as Pending clientsImport
No leftovers

Even the odd ones sort themselves.

  • Unmatched clients are auto-guessed Individual vs Organization.
  • Reuse an owner's return for a disregarded entity, or skip a row.
  • Anything still unmatched lands as a Pending client to finish later.
F.A.Q

Frequently asked questions.

How long does onboarding take?

The firm setup wizard takes minutes. Bulk client import then runs in the background: you upload last year's returns, Arrive extracts and matches them, and you import the whole book at once.

What does Arrive pull from a tax return?

From each prior-year PDF it extracts the client's return type, EIN or SSN, owners, ownership percentages, address, and more, then maps it into a ready-to-import client record.

How are returns matched to clients?

By client name, tax software ID, and the PDF file name. Results are grouped into Matched, No PDF found, and Extra PDFs, so you can see and fix anything that didn't line up.

What happens to clients that don't match?

They're auto-guessed as Individual or Organization for you to confirm, and anything still unmatched is imported as a Pending client you can complete later.

Firm Onboarding

Running on Arrive from day one.

A spreadsheet and last year's returns become a fully provisioned firm, team, clients, and documents, so you start on Arrive, not months from now.
