From client package to a draft in Drake.
The same steps your preparer runs today. Cranston does the first pass, in the software your firm already licenses.
Package check
The client folder is checked for completeness first. Missing K-1s surface before anyone preps.
Preparation
Every page is read, and every figure carries a link to its source. Unreadable pages get flagged, not guessed.
Into Drake
Cranston enters the return in your Drake client file and runs the calculation there.
Review
Cranston puts the draft, diagnostics, and open questions in your review queue.
Offshore prep also types into Drake. Slowly.
The usual capacity fix is an offshore queue that takes days, needs 7216 consent letters, and still hands you data-entry errors to find. Cranston does the first pass in your own Drake, the same hour.
Offshore or seasonal hires
- Days of turnaround per return
- Data-entry errors you fix yourself
- 7216 consent before client data goes overseas
- Seasonal staff require training each January
- A draft in Drake the same hour
- Every figure cross-checked against its source
- Client data stays in your software
- Scales through March without hiring in January
