Course Description

There has been much emphasis in recent years on streamlining the 1040 preparation process. With more firms scanning and auto-populating returns, and even outsourcing them, much of the front-end preparation can be done very quickly. On the backend of the process, delivery and signatures have also been automated.

Despite automation on the front end and back end of the tax workflow, partners and senior advisors are still spending dozens of hours during tax season on detailed 1040 reviews. Hours that could be more profitable if spent on higher-value client engagements. Reviewing 1040 returns is often a bottleneck in firms - one that is costly and can be a source of burnout.

In many cases, the review work is done by senior managers and partners whose time is expensive and should be focused on higher-level advisory conversations with clients. Further, how do you train preparers to become good reviewers?

With the help of this CE/CPE webinar, learn how to standardize your 1040 review process so that it results in:

Less time is required for the final review
Higher accuracy
A training system for new reviewers
