Personalized checklists
Each client sees exactly which documents are still needed.

Tax season shouldn't depend on chasing clients for documents.
CAB can build a client-workflow layer that requests documents, tracks every return's status and reminds clients automatically — around the tax and accounting software you already use.
Tell CAB How Your Business Works
You don't need to know what app to build. Tell CAB what's slowing the business down.

What's slowing you down?
Tell CAB How Your Business Works
Check what applies — or skip it. CAB will confirm with you, not assume.
If several of these sound familiar, the problem may not be a lack of software. It may be too much disconnected software.
What's actually happening
Where the friction comes from.
Firms lose capacity in the gap between their tax software and their clients. Document collection, status updates and reminders consume hours that should go to the work itself.
What this may be costing
The cost hides in everyday work.
Hours lost to re-typing and chasing information
Leads and customers that slip between tools
Owner time pulled into admin instead of growth
Capacity capped by manual coordination
Every business is different. CAB only puts numbers on this with figures you provide during discovery.
Best first move
Start small. Prove it. Then expand.

Keep what works
Keep what works. Replace what doesn't.
Replace
Email document chasing and spreadsheet status tracking.
Connect
Your tax preparation software, accounting platforms and e-signature tools.
Build around
Your professional software stays in place; CAB builds the client workflow around it.
CAB's job is the right operating architecture — not rebuilding tools that already work. Examples include QuickBooks, Gusto, Stripe, an existing point-of-sale system or an industry system you depend on.
Example end-to-end workflow
What a day could look like.
- 1
A returning client signs her engagement letter online.
- 2
She gets a checklist based on last year's return.
- 3
She uploads W-2s and a 1099; the system recognizes them.
- 4
She's reminded about the missing mortgage statement.
- 5
She sees her return move to review, then ready to sign.

People and outcomes
What stays human — and how it can help the business.
What stays human
- • All professional judgment and advice.
- • Review and sign-off.
- • Sensitive client conversations.
Possible business impact
- • More preparer hours spent on actual work
- • Fewer status calls
- • Faster document collection
- • Better seasonal capacity planning
These improvements can support growth and revenue performance. Results depend on your business and are not guaranteed.
CAB builds workflow and client-communication software. It does not provide accounting or tax advice, and security requirements are designed with your firm — CAB does not certify regulatory compliance.
