A CPA firm faced an unexpected crisis during the peak of tax season: two of its senior tax preparers, responsible for handling the bulk of their 300 business tax returns, resigned without notice. With tax deadlines rapidly approaching and limited staff resources, the firm was at risk of missing deadlines, damaging client relationships, and incurring significant costs to replace the lost expertise.
In urgent need of expert assistance, the firm turned to SuperAccountants. Leveraging our extensive experience with Drake Tax Software and our efficient workflow system, we stepped in to manage the preparation of the business tax returns. This partnership not only helped the firm meet all deadlines but also allowed them to focus on client relationships and strategic growth initiatives while reducing their operational costs by 60%.
The sudden departure of two experienced tax preparers left the CPA firm in a difficult position. With 300 business tax returns to file, the remaining staff could not handle the workload without compromising quality. Time was of the essence; tax deadlines were imminent, leaving no time to recruit, hire, and train new employees with the necessary expertise. Maintaining quality standards was critical to uphold the firm’s reputation, and diverting existing staff to handle the increased workload would have pulled them away from premium advisory services and essential client interactions.
SuperAccountants provided the specialized support the CPA firm urgently needed. Utilizing our proprietary dashboard at www.superaccountants.com, the firm securely uploaded their workpapers directly to our system. Our team accessed their Drake Tax Software remotely and prepared the returns based on the provided workpapers. This seamless integration minimized disruptions and maintained consistency in service delivery.
Our deep expertise in Drake Tax Software allowed us to efficiently handle the high volume of tax returns with accuracy and compliance. By outsourcing the bulk of the tax preparation work to SuperAccountants, the firm’s internal staff could concentrate on high-value tasks such as client advisory services and business development. Moreover, by partnering with us instead of hiring new staff, the firm reduced their operational costs by 60%, avoiding expenses associated with recruitment, salaries, and benefits for new hires.
The collaboration with SuperAccountants led to significant positive outcomes for the CPA firm:

At SuperAccountants.com, we specialize in navigating the intricacies of Drake Tax Software to provide expert accounting support for CPA and EA firms. Our clients securely upload their workpapers to our proprietary dashboard, and our team accesses their Drake Tax Software to prepare returns based on the provided documents. We do not interact directly with their clients, nor do we provide consulting or advice on interpreting tax law or its application.
All work is completed within the firm’s system, with the CPA or EA firm retaining full control over the process. They are responsible for the final review, signing, and filing of the returns, as well as all client communications. Before submitting any work back to the firm, every return we prepare undergoes a thorough review by a certified professional (EA, CPA, or CA) to ensure the highest quality standards are met.
By partnering with SuperAccountants, firms can ensure seamless operations during critical periods, optimize their resources, and significantly reduce operational costs, allowing them to focus on serving their clients and growing their business.
