Which pain pointis costing your practice most?
Twenty-five statements. About five minutes.Intake, review, pricing, knowledge and people, scored in your browser.
A. Intake & follow-up
Clients send it late, in the wrong form, and we follow up again and again.
Clients send what we need, in the form we need it, the first time.
For returning clients, we ask only for what we do not already hold.
We can see at any moment which clients are waiting on which document.
Reminders go out without anyone having to remember to send them.
Everyone agrees what "ready to start" means, and can see whether a file is there.
B. Review
Returns pile up waiting for the few people who can review them.
Returns reach review already checked, not raw.
Reviewers do not spend most of their time on corrections a first pass could have caught.
We know how long a return waits in the review queue.
Reviewers are not the reason returns wait.
Our review standards are written down, so they do not depend on who is reviewing.
C. Pricing
We quote before we know how much work is in the file.
We know the scope of an engagement before we quote it.
We can compare the hours spent on each engagement with what we charged.
Pricing follows a consistent method, not whoever happens to handle the client.
We know which clients and engagements are least profitable.
A change in scope gets priced when it happens, not absorbed.
D. Knowledge
Everyone does it a little differently, and the answer lives in someone's head.
Our procedures are written down and current.
Everyone in the firm follows the same procedure for the same job.
A new team member can find an answer without interrupting a senior.
Two people asked the same question would give the same answer.
When someone leaves, what they knew stays in the firm.
E. People
We can't find, train and keep enough people, and the inbox eats the ones we have.
We can take on new clients without hiring first.
Seasonal and new staff are productive from their first week.
Senior time goes mostly to judgment, not to keying or email.
Client emails are answered the same day without a senior stopping other work.
We are not turning work away because we lack capacity.
