CAB Solution Profile

Accounting & Tax Firms

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.

01 · The friction

What's slowing the business down

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.

  • · Staff email clients repeatedly for missing documents.
  • · Return status is tracked in a spreadsheet.
  • · Clients call to ask where their return is.
  • · Documents arrive by email, text and drop-off.
  • · Engagement letters and signatures are chased manually.
  • · Workload is hard to balance across preparers.

02 · What CAB builds

One connected system

  • Personalized checklists

    Each client sees exactly which documents are still needed.

  • Secure uploads

    Documents uploaded and organized by client and year.

  • Document recognition

    Uploaded documents identified and matched to the checklist.

  • Status tracking

    Every engagement's stage visible to staff and clients.

  • Reminders

    Polite, timed reminders for missing items and signatures.

  • Workload view

    Preparer capacity and deadlines across the firm.
