Accounting & BookkeepingKnowledge Management3MediumSenior Tax Accountant$ implied

A senior tax accountant struggles to quickly resume work on a tax engagement after it has been dormant for 1–4 months due to disorganized notes and memory-dependent systems.

OneNote is used as a brain dump rather than a structured system, lacking standardized engagement summaries, checklists, and templates that would enable rapid context retrieval after long gaps.

Workarounds Described

Uses OneNote with separate tabs for each client and tax year but notes devolve into a brain dump
Manually tracks questions for project managers and self-memos without a structured system

Standardized tax engagement templates (checklists, workpaper indexes) to enforce consistency
Automatic status timelines that capture what was done, why, and what’s pending each time you close the file
ADHD-friendly visual dashboards with color-coded engagement stages, reminders, and priority flags

Target Users: Senior tax accountants and managers at small to mid-sized public accounting firms managing multiple client engagements with long dormant periods

Revenue Model: SaaS subscription at $39/mo per user, with a free 14-day trial and team plans available
