Which pain pointis costing your practice most?

Twenty-five statements. About five minutes.Intake, review, pricing, knowledge and people, scored in your browser.

0 of 25 answeredYes = true and under control · Partly = sometimes, or informally · No = not today

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.
