Here's what happens right now.

You finish their return. It's ready for review. You send an email. They're on vacation. They see it a week later. Now they're rushing to review it before filing.

Or worse: they call you asking "is my return done?" And you have to stop what you're doing to check.

Here's the play: automatic status updates at every stage.

Documents received? Text them: "We got your documents — we'll be in touch when your return is ready."

In progress? Text: "Your return is now in progress."

Ready for review? Text: "Your return is ready for your review — log in to see it: [link]."

Filed? Text: "Your return has been filed. You're all set."

It takes a minute to send. And it eliminates the "where's my return?" calls that drive you crazy during tax season.

Your clients feel like they're working with a firm that actually communicates. And you stop answering the same question 20 times a day.

The bottleneck isn't your spreadsheet. It's not telling them what's happening.
