Tax Season Automation at Premier CPA Firm

How DataConvertPro helped this accounting organization streamline document processing and improve operational efficiency.

The Challenge

Harrison & Associates, a 25-person CPA firm, faced overwhelming volumes during tax season. They were manually processing 500+ tax documents (Forms 1040, Schedule C, K-1s, etc.) per season, with staff working 60+ hour weeks. Document scanning and manual data entry into their accounting software consumed 70% of their time, creating bottlenecks and increasing error rates. Clients complained about slow turnarounds, and the firm was turning away new business during peak season due to capacity constraints.

The Solution

DataConvertPro was integrated into their document intake workflow to automatically convert scanned tax forms and supporting documents into structured data. The platform's OCR and intelligent field recognition enabled automatic extraction of key tax information (SSNs, income figures, deductions, credits) with 99.8% accuracy. Documents were automatically routed to appropriate workflows, eliminating manual sorting and reducing data entry time by 85%. Integration with their existing QuickBooks and tax software (Thomson Reuters ProConnect) was seamless via API.
