Practice Manager Plus

Feature overview

Advanced workflow and checklists

Power through jobs and tasks

Practice Manager Plus makes it easy to reorganise workflow, implement improved processes and keep tighter reins on job progress, freeing you up to grow your practice:

  • Make sure you meet all statutory deadlines. Create templates based on key tax and accounting dates and apply them to multiple clients
  • Create jobs and set up the tasks required to execute the job. Completing a tax return? Create it as a job, then set up the tasks required to complete the job efficiently
  • Customise the workflow for each job. Set up templates with all the required tasks and reminders, so you and your staff can simply follow the same process time and time again
  • Use a Template to start a Job and use any changes on recurrence (ideal for non TaxCalc work such as Payroll).
  • Auto-populate dates from information already in TaxCalc.
  • Save admin time by setting up automatic notifications for regularly recurring jobs, such as VAT or tax returns
  • Assign the job/tasks to specific members of staff/team or select Portfolio Manager/Custom User Role to auto assign to the correct user on job creation
  • Identify bottlenecks and remove them. Assign multiple staff members for different jobs to keep the job moving through your practice
  • Customise tasks with automation so you don't have to manually update them - for example, when submitting a set of accounts automatically change the job/task status to complete or notify another user of the change.
  • For simple workflows or processes create SimpleStep® checklists to make sure no steps are missed

Dashboards

Get the complete picture

With Practice Manager Plus, you are in command of all you survey.

Multiple dashboards

  • Gain an overview of all activity and information in one handy snapshot
  • Organise information in whatever way you want
  • Set up different dashboards to monitor particular functions
  • Share with different users in the practice.

Private dashboards

  • Set up different dashboards to monitor particular functions for personal use
  • Maintain tight control over specific workloads.

Public dashboards

  • Display and share information with all staff
  • Ensure consistency across your practice.

Customise

  • Filter your dashboard widgets by user, team, portfolio manager, custom user role, activity type, date or Office.

Multiple offices

Flexibility comes built-in

Some members of your staff may be based in different offices. They may work in more than one office. They may need to collaborate on jobs between offices. Another great asset of Practice Manager Plus is that it effortlessly manages staff, clients and jobs across multiple offices.

  • Create separate bank details and filing credentials for different offices within the same firm for easier administration
  • Assign users to multiple offices, so you can cater for staff who work from more than one office
  • Assign clients to a certain office
  • Restrict the clients that a user can see to those for a particular office by adding dynamic client restrictions against the user record.

Frequently asked questions

Below you'll find answers to questions you may have about Practice Manager Plus.
If you'd like to know more, please call us on 0345 5190 883 or email sales@taxcalc.com.

Getting started with Practice Manager Plus

Create, customise and co-ordinate all of your work in just a few simple steps.

What does Practice Manager Plus include?

Practice Manager Plus provides additional workflow tools to automate and manage your practice. Please see our feature comparison to see the enhancements it provides.

Can I buy Practice Manager Plus on its own?

No. You will need to buy one of our practice products as Practice Manager Plus requires Practice Manager to function. To purchase Practice Manager Plus please see our Versions and Prices page.

Please call us on 0345 5190 883 or email sales@taxcalc.com if you require help with purchasing.

What do I have to do to get set up and start using Practice Manager Plus?

Please see our getting started guide for Practice Manager Plus.

How many users can use Practice Manager Plus?

Practice Manager Plus is licenced on a per user/per year basis, so you need to purchase the number of users that will use the software. Please see our Versions and Prices page.

Where has Client Hub gone?

Client Hub has been renamed to Practice Manager. All of the functionality you are familiar with still exists. You’ll even find some useful additions.

If I stop using Practice Manager Plus, will my Jobs still be available?

Once your licence has expired, you’ll still be able to access and progress any open Jobs up to completion. However, it will not be possible to create or activate any new Jobs. You can create or activate a corresponding standalone Task for the same type of work to use our standard Practice Manager functionality.

What type of Jobs can I create?

You can create Jobs for almost anything you need to track progress on. To create a Job, simply select from a customisable list of client and non-client activities. For common Jobs, you can apply a Job template or just create ad-hoc Jobs that may need to change over time.

To get you started, we‘ve provided several templates that set workflows for key jobs. You can also construct your own templates, letting you work exactly as you need to.

What is the difference between a Job and a Task?

Jobs are only available within Practice Manager Plus and contain baskets of tasks that act as stages of the Job, ideal for transitioning through a workflow. For example, a tax return is a job and can contain tasks such as requesting tax return information from the client, receiving tax information, preparing the tax return and submitting the tax return to HMRC. Having separate tasks allows you to manage and report on the progress of your work more accurately and effectively.

Where a staged approach is not required, standalone Tasks can be created. Tasks have an assignee and a status and can be used for an item of work e.g. a tax return or a meeting, they don’t have separate manageable stages though.

Is a free trial available for Practice Manager Plus?

Yes, Practice Manager Plus is included as part of the free 14-day trial. If you would like to know more about Practice Manager Plus, please call us on 0345 5190 883 or email sales@taxcalc.com.
