Onboard new clients from last year’s return

Cranston reads the prior-year return and creates the client profile, carryovers, and first document request list.

How onboarding runs

From signed engagement to prepped client.

  • The prior year comes in

    A PDF of last year’s return, from H&R Block, another firm, anywhere, is read and extracted in full.

  • The client takes shape

    Entity details, filing profile, carryovers, and expected forms are built from what the return shows.

  • The first ask writes itself

    A document request list generated from their actual situation goes out through the portal.

  • The file starts in your software

    The client lands in your tax software ready for this year’s work.

Onboarding questions

Scans and photos work. Cranston reads what is legible and lists what it was unable to use, so you know what to ask for.
