New York financial advisory firm transforms workflow with TaxCaddy Smart Links

Tax automation software makes tax season easier for clients and easier for firms. The shift to a digital, paperless tax process is here, but change can be challenging for some taxpayers. It takes technology advocates to move the needle of adoption. For WISE Financial Advisors, it was worth the effort.

WISE Financial Advisors is a firm of four employees located in New York State. WISE processes 1040s and provides holistic financial planning to high-net-worth individuals. Michael Weinberg, President and Founder, recently onboarded all the firm’s clients to TaxCaddy and Smart Links.

What I see this future becoming is that it’s ultimately all going to be about Smart Links.

How to avoid the 16-hour workday during tax busy season

Many tax professionals work exhausting hours during tax busy season. Due to staffing shortages, firms have no choice but to impose demanding schedules, which leads to accounting burnout and attrition. The problem is cyclical. Over time, unsustainable labor practices backfire on the bottom line.

This is not inevitable. There are solutions.

We made up so much time in efficiency. The upfront scanning takes a fraction of the time of what it did before. The review took a fraction of the time it took before.

Beasley, Mitchell & Co.

Solutions in Focus: 1040SCAN, SPbinder

When Brad Beasley, Leading Partner at Beasley, Mitchell & Co. decided it was time to make the leap into the digital age, he was initially skeptical if an automated 1040 tax automation process could outperform the paper-based system they had spent years perfecting. However, switching to 1040SCAN PRO and SPbinder has accomplished exactly that. They’re now a faster, more efficient firm better suited for the modern era.

It works fantastic. For what we need it to do, SurePrep does an absolutely amazing job and I just don’t see how we could go back to manually [preparing returns].
