Capacity planning dashboards that distribute tax returns across preparers by complexity and deadline priority. Online spreadsheet software for organizing data, building formulas, and collaborating on workbooks in real time.
If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone. Most tax preparation businesses deal with these every day.
Tax season capacity where 80% of annual revenue must be earned in a 10-week sprint from February to April
Client document collection that involves chasing scanned W-2s, photographed 1099s, and missing K-1s for weeks
Extension management for clients who miss the filing deadline and need quarterly estimated payment tracking
Review workflows where senior preparers must check every return but bottleneck the entire queue
Off-season revenue drought when the firm has fixed costs but almost zero client engagement from May to January
