Hi @Madeline Miller,

If you were in AU I would suggest: https://changegps.com.au/apps/taxplan

I’m not sure for US though sorry 🙂

Ahh gotcha @Madeline Miller, like a Karbon Work Template? 🙂

We created our own, not my IP to share, but the gist of it is:

  • checking accounting file reconciled to 9th/10th month of the year
  • send Client Request checklist asking about the rest of the financial year (any expected/planned changes to income, expenditure for remainder of year, any asset purchased/sold in year, any donations or super contributions planned/made, change in family circumstances)
  • project profit for remainder of year
  • prepare income tax estimates report in ChangeGPS
  • prepare agenda for meeting
  • book and hold meeting

Does that help?

We have one that has been working well.  Not sure how I can share it.
