Take Some Weight Off Your Tax Season

A short call with Matthew to see how SAM can help with tax prep and what you do with the returns afterward.

  • Partners and seniors spend less time buried in prep and more time on higher-value reviews.

  • The team walks into client meetings with a short list of talking points pulled from actual returns.

  • Many firms have been able to reduce rush and weekend work while still growing revenue.

You and your team already know how this goes: long hours, review bottlenecks, and clients who still expect you to “have ideas” on top of getting the returns done.

It’s hard to find capacity for anything beyond getting work out the door on time.
