Deadline season floods one inbox
Around tax and year-end deadlines, client documents, questions and chasers all arrive at once. If they all go to one person, things get missed.
Email hosting for accounting and bookkeeping practices on your own domain. Mailboxes for every accountant plus docs@, payroll@ and billing@ — $19/year for 20 mailboxes, not per user.
The problem
Around tax and year-end deadlines, client documents, questions and chasers all arrive at once. If they all go to one person, things get missed.
Many practices add temporary help for busy season. Per-user email plans make every extra pair of hands another monthly line item.
Clients are increasingly wary of emails asking for financial information. Mail from a properly authenticated domain is easier for them — and their mail provider — to trust.
Clients guess at addresses. Without a catch-all, a typo means a bounced email and a client who thinks they have sent you their paperwork.
Addresses that work
Create them as full mailboxes, or as aliases that deliver into an existing inbox — aliases don't use up a mailbox.
Make tax@ and payroll@ aliases of the right person’s mailbox. When responsibilities move, reassign the alias — clients keep using the same address.
Route any unrecognised address on your domain to a chosen mailbox, so documents sent to a misspelt address still arrive.
Set up docs@ as its own mailbox and connect it to several team members’ mail apps over IMAP, so whoever is free can file incoming paperwork.
Stop paying per seat
Approximate yearly cost for 8 mailboxes, based on published entry-level list prices billed annually.
| Provider | Pricing model | 8 users / year |
|---|---|---|
| Google Workspace Business Starter | from about $7/user/month | ≈ $672 |
| Microsoft 365 Business Basic | from about $6/user/month | ≈ $576 |
| HavitoMail Pro | flat — up to 20 mailboxes, 5 domains | $19 |
Eight users on Google Workspace Business Starter come to about $672 a year at list price. HavitoMail Pro is $19 a year for up to 20 mailboxes, so seasonal staff do not add to the bill.
Competitor prices are approximate list prices and vary by region, plan and billing term. HavitoMail's 14-day free trial covers 1 domain and 1 mailbox.
