Free tool

Walk into busy season ready. Every task, dated.

Pick the day your firm must be ready and answer fourteen questions. Out comes a readiness plan with every technology, people, client, security, and recovery task dated back from that day, the weekly rhythm to run in season, and the retrospective to run after. Free, no sign-up, delivered as a Word document.

  • Every task gets a date, counted back from the season start you choose.
  • Your answers stay in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
  • A plan for the whole firm, plus a one-page client instructions insert and a seasonal staff checklist.

Step 1 of 5 The season

1Your firm, who runs the plan, and when the season starts

Pick the date your team must be fully ready: the day organizers go out, or the first week you take appointments.

Changes: Dates every task in the plan counting back from the start date, and names who owns the plan.

2What kind of season is it?

Changes: Sets which deadlines, organizers, and e-file checks the plan tracks.

3How many people work in the firm?

Changes: Sizes the staffing, scheduling, and review-workflow tasks.

What you get

The season planned like a project, because it is one.

Ten weeks, in order

Decisions and orders first: staffing, the capacity rule, the software rollout. Then the security checks and the restore test. Then rehearsal, the client letter, the intake desk. Nothing new in the last two weeks. Every row dated.

The rhythm that survives March

A fifteen-minute Monday, a daily intake clear, a daily acknowledgment check, a two-minute Wednesday on backups and alerts, a Friday that catches what slipped. Written down, so it happens when everyone is tired.

What it is not

It is not a tax calendar, and it does not know your state deadlines. It is the operational plan around them. Version 1.0 (October 2026).
