This statistic is alarming and can cost your firm significantly in terms of increased errors, missed deadlines, and potential revenue loss. You may be wondering, “But what am I doing wrong?”

Tax season is often a grind. With last-minute requests piling up, it's tempting to push your team too hard. This leaves them overwhelmed and burnt out, resulting in unexpected staff exits, sick days, and chaos just before the deadline.

The mistake many firms make is not getting the right support at the right time. Firms that thrive during the tax season understand that success requires strategic partnerships, particularly through outsourcing.

By leveraging outsourcing, you can ensure your team isn't stretched too thin, allowing them to focus on higher-value tasks and client relationships.

Here’s how QX can support your firm during the tax season:

  • Diverse Talent Pool: As outsourcing industry leaders, we provide you with access to a wide range of certified and experienced tax preparers who can handle your firm’s increased workloads without compromising quality.

  • Quick Turnaround Times (TAT): With efficient processes in place, we can turn around your tax prep quickly, ensuring you meet every deadline without stress.
  • Volume-Based Discounts: We understand that tax season can strain budgets. Our volume-based pricing allows you to save money while ensuring you have the support you need. The more you outsource, the less you pay!

  • GDPR Compliance: We prioritise data security and adhere strictly to GDPR regulations, giving you peace of mind that your clients' data is protected.

  • Trusted by 500+ Clients: Our track record speaks for itself. With a CSAT score of 96%, we’re trusted by firms like TaxAssist Accountants and DSK LLP, showing our commitment to your success. When you partner with us, you’re choosing a provider that prioritises your success.

Real Success, Real Impact

Outsourcing isn't just about offloading work; it's about driving sustainable success and increasing profits while keeping your existing team intact. A great example is a Surrey-based accountancy firm that partnered with QX to manage a heavy workload of 700+ returns during peak tax season.

With QX handling 40-50 tax returns per week, the firm completed all 700+ returns before the deadline with 100% accuracy. This allowed the practice to boost tax season productivity by 33% and generate an additional £70,000 in profit.
