Fast-track tax workflows
Visualise, manage, and prioritize high-volume tax work with role-based templates and first-in, first-out tax queues. Assign tasks based on team members’ skills and historical patterns, so work keeps moving even as the season intensifies.
Easily reassign jobs to previous owners to maintain continuity, and adjust deadlines at scale without missing important details.
Automate & allocate
Use custom automators tailored to your firm’s processes to surface relevant tasks, empower conditional workflows based on status, and shift responsibilities between team members, right when they’re needed.
Smart rules and triggers help manage extensions, minimize manual updates, and ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
Work smarter with templates
Kickstart tax season with a ready-to-go library of prebuilt workflows for standard returns like 1040s and 1099s. Each workflow includes built-in tasks, roles, deadlines, automations, and sections, customisable to align with your firm's unique tax processes, ensuring every employee stays consistent and efficient.
