Important Note for Free Trial Users:

Prior to connecting your Drake instance to Juno you'll need to complete your free trial period. Once your trial ends, a member of our team will:

  • Share the integration app download link with you

  • Guide you step-by-step through connecting your tax software live during your onboarding call (we highly recommend downloading the app in advance, but waiting for your onboarding call to set up the integration)

  • Ensure you’re fully set up and ready to start using Juno
