Accounting Firms Automation FAQ
Can I open different appointment types for tax season vs. off-season?
Yes. Create seasonal service menus — tax prep, extension filing, and review meetings during tax season; planning, advisory, and bookkeeping during the off-season. Switch appointment types with seasonal schedule templates.
How does the document collection portal work?
Each client receives a personalized checklist based on their return type. They upload documents through a secure portal. The system tracks what's been received and automatically follows up on missing items.
Can I manage seasonal staff availability?
Yes. Add temporary and seasonal staff with defined availability periods. When tax season ends, their schedules are automatically deactivated without affecting permanent staff.
Does it handle both individual and business client scheduling?
Yes. Create separate appointment types and intake workflows for individual returns, business returns, partnerships, and trusts. Each type has appropriate duration, document requirements, and pricing.
