Accounting & BookkeepingClient Onboarding4HighAccountant$ implied

Client intake process at a small accounting firm is disorganized, relying on previous year's returns instead of original documents, and tax software does not update pulled-forward data, forcing manual entry for accurate multi-year reports.

ProSeries fails to automatically update pulled-forward data when prior year returns are amended, requiring manual re-entry; no standardized digital client intake checklist or document collection workflow in place.
