functionality of sophisticated PM systems for considerably less.
Advanced workflow and checklists
Power through jobs and tasks
WorkFlow makes it easy to 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

Frequently asked questions
Below you'll find answers to questions you may have about WorkFlow.
If you'd like to know more, please call us on 0345 5190 883 or email sales@taxcalc.com.
What does WorkFlow include?
WorkFlow provides additional tools to automate and manage your practice.
What do I have to do to get set up and start using WorkFlow?
Please see our getting started guide for WorkFlow.
How many users can use WorkFlow?
WorkFlow 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.
If I stop using WorkFlow, 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 WorkFlow 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.
