Accounting: Tax Document Collection

How Numbers Plus transformed tax season

The Challenge

Numbers Plus Accounting, a 6-CPA firm serving 200+ small business clients, dreaded tax season. Collecting W-2s, 1099s, receipts, and financial statements via email was a nightmare—missing documents, wrong file versions, and constant follow-ups.

  • âš Document collection chaos: Chasing clients for missing forms via phone and email consumed hours daily
  • âš Version confusion: Multiple versions of the same document in email—which is the final one?
  • âš Security risks: Sensitive financial documents and SSNs shared via unencrypted email

Managing Partner at Numbers Plus Accounting

Robert leads a team of 6 CPAs serving 200+ small business clients with tax preparation, bookkeeping, and financial advisory services.

"Tax season was three months of chasing clients for documents. 'Did you send me your 1099s?' 'Which version of your P&L is final?' It was exhausting and risky."
