What is a ClientFlow Portal?
A ClientFlow Portal is a secure online account which allows our clients to securely receive electronic documents delivered by Cherry Bekaert. Using a secure username and password, clients can view accounting information such as:
- Tax Return
- Client Organizer
- Engagement Letter
- Year-End Projection
- Schedule K-1
- Requests for Information for Bankers/Brokers
- Financial Statements
Furthermore, our clients have the ability to securely upload and deliver documents to their account which may aide Cherry Bekaert associates in the preparation of documents produced for client delivery.

Where do I send my signed E-File Forms?
Upon signature of your E-File Forms, we recommend you scan and upload your forms back to your user account. This is the most effective method of returning your signed E-File Forms to Cherry Bekaert.
In the event you are not able to scan and upload your forms to your user account, you may fax or mail the forms back to the office location in which you interact with. Please visit our Locations listing to determine the appropriate mailing address and/or fax number.
-
Why am I not able to electronically sign my E-File Forms?
While Electronic Return Originators, or EROs (accountants and tax preparers) have the ability to ‘E-Sign’ E-File Forms, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) specifically requires taxpayers to physically sign Form(s) 8879. The IRS further requires the signed form be received by the ERO prior to submitting the tax return to the taxing authority. Your physical signature on the E-File Form(s) indicates that you, as the taxpayer, have reviewed the return and ensure the information on the return is accurate.
