Sample output

Follow a source to the handoff.

The P-001 example shows a coded reconciliation and review-pack format using fictional figures. The engagement defines the local schedules and return workpapers.

Open the fictional P-001 review-pack example to see a reconciliation, proposed adjustment and open-question register. The agreed service determines which schedules your pack contains.

First assignment

Start with one entity and an agreed scope.

Choose the period, records and reviewer. The scope sets deliverables, review responsibilities, billing and acceptance criteria.

QUALITY CONTROL

Every file is reviewed twice before it reaches you.

Two accountants work on every file - one prepares it, a senior reviews it - and the handoff pack shows exactly what was checked. Your data stays in your systems.

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Accountant 1

    An accountant posts the work with source references, reconciliations and working papers for every balance.

  2. 2

    Senior review

    Accountant 2

    A second, senior accountant reviews the file against our QC checklist and clears or lists every open item.

  3. 3

    Handoff pack

    To your firm

    You receive review notes, proposed entries and a handoff checklist. Your firm approves tax positions, client advice and the final filing.

Work is reviewed inside your software under your access controls. We do not sign, file or contact your clients.
