My biggest fear in the tax preparation business was forgetting about a client's tax return after they had dropped off the work. We did all sorts of things to prevent this such as having specific places where the client's documents could be stored. However, it was amazing how easy it was for any of us to break those rules. The possibility of not only having an unhappy client always existed but there was the added responsibility for tax penalties on top of that.

The on-line Job Log takes a big load off of my mind in this area. Additionally, I can use my open jobs list to estimate hours required and make the decision on filing extensions earlier. If work control is your thing, this is the product for you.
