Tax Prep Capacity On Demand – Without the Overhead
General tax preparation support including workpapers, extensions, amendments, and organizer processing – handled by U.S. tax-trained offshore teams.
Tax prep capacity shouldn't depend on hiring luck
Every season, firms face the same cycle – scramble to hire, rush to train, push extensions, and burn out the staff you do have. The result is inconsistent workpapers, review bottlenecks, and partners drowning in production instead of leading the practice.
Seasonal Capacity Crunch
You need 3x the staff for 4 months, but can't justify the headcount for the remaining 8. The math never works.
Extension Backlogs
When prep capacity runs out, extensions pile up. Then the extension deadline becomes its own crisis in October.
Workpaper Inconsistency
Different preparers, different standards. Every return requires extra review time because workpapers lack uniformity.
Amendment Turnaround Delays
Amended returns get deprioritized during season and stack up for months, frustrating clients and straining relationships.
Full-Cycle Tax Preparation Execution
From workpaper assembly to e-filing confirmation – handled by U.S. tax-trained offshore teams inside your systems.
Workpaper Preparation
Standardized, review-ready workpapers with source document mapping, tick marks, and preparer notes for every return type.
Extension Processing
Form 4868, 7004, and state extension filings with estimated tax calculations and deadline tracking across all jurisdictions.
Amendment Filing
1040-X, 1120-X, and state amended return preparation with corrected schedules and supporting documentation.
Tax Organizer Processing
Client tax organizer data entry, source document reconciliation, and pre-preparation workpaper assembly to accelerate the prep cycle.
E-Filing Support
E-file validation, rejection resolution, and filing confirmation tracking across federal and state returns for all entity types.
Prior Year Returns
Preparation of prior year and late-filed returns including penalty abatement documentation and compliance restoration support.

In-House vs. Accountably
A full-time U.S. tax preparer costs $65K–$85K in salary alone. Add benefits, overtime, training, supervision, and inevitable turnover – you're spending $90K–$110K per head for someone who may leave after one season.
