TaxFlow web-based trial balance software is slow, unreliable, and lacks features that the desktop version has, causing significant delays during tax season.

TaxFlow is slow, has lag, missing features like batch tag-out and consolidation, and unreliable import; desktop Caseware is not offered to small firms despite being available.

Workarounds Described

uses Excel because it was faster and more consistent than TaxFlow
manually scrolls through side bar to select each account because imports are not in order
has to individually tag out each account instead of batch tagging
waits 2 days for customer service to fix import issues
makes up account numbers when importing trial balances without them

Implied Software Gaps

Cloud trial balance software that matches desktop performance and reliability
Trial balance import that preserves account ordering from source system
Batch tagging and drag-down functionality for efficient workpaper mapping
Reliable import functionality that doesn't require frequent customer support tickets
Automatic account number generation or flexible mapping for imported trial balances
