Workflow Automation

Turn your best tax processes into repeatable workflows.

Build a workflow template once, then apply it to every return of that type — with dependencies, owners, and automation built in.

Every firm already has a process for handling an individual return or a business filing — it usually just lives in someone's head. TPP lets you turn that process into a reusable workflow template, so every team member delivers the same disciplined client experience, every time.

How it works

01

Build a template

Define the steps your firm actually follows — for example, organizer, document request, preparation, review, signature, e-file.

02

Set dependencies and owners

Each step can depend on the last, and route to the right role — preparer, reviewer, or the client.

03

Apply it to a client's engagement

One click creates every task in the right order, assigned to the right people, with due dates already calculated.

04

Track progress automatically

As each step completes, the next one activates and the client is notified if it's their turn.

Key capabilities

Ordered steps with dependencies
Assigned owners per step

Progress tracking across every active engagement

A real tax-practice scenario

Imagine your firm is entering another filing season and wants every preparer to follow the same nine-step process for individual returns.

Build the workflow once as a template. Every new individual-return engagement gets the same steps, in the same order, with nothing left to memory — and any team member can see exactly where a given return sits in that process.

Before TPP

  • Every preparer follows their own process
  • Steps get skipped when someone is busy
  • No visibility into what's next for a given return
  • Recurring work re-created from scratch each time

After TPP

  • One documented process per return type
  • Automatic handoffs between steps
  • Clear visibility into every engagement's stage
  • Recurring work runs on its own schedule
