Operating
Core.

The administrative infrastructure that makes your practice run consistently — client management, billing, intake, and file organization standardized and enforced across every client, every season.

CRM

Pipeline Architecture

Client relationship pipelines configured to your practice management system — every client moves through a defined workflow, every stage documented.

Templates

Job Templates

Standardized job templates for every engagement type — 1040, S-Corp, trust, extension, quarterly planning. No improvisation at the workflow level.

Intake

Intake Documents

Automated organizers and intake questionnaires configured to collect complete, structured information before any prep work begins.

Compliance

Engagement Letters

Scope-defined engagement letters aligned with the advisory model — compliance-first language, clear service boundaries, and proper Circular 230 standards.

Billing

Billing System Configuration

Billing structure aligned with advisory pricing — recurring advisory fees separated from compliance work, automated invoicing, and payment tracking.

File Standard

File Naming and Organization

The OS file naming standard enforced across every client — consistent, searchable, and AI-extraction ready from day one.

Tax
Execution.

The workflow infrastructure that takes a client file from document collection through preparation routing — structured, documented, and human-controlled at every critical gate.

Automation

Workpaper Automation

Standardized workpaper templates and automation configured to your prep software — reducing manual data entry and enforcing documentation at the execution level.

AI — Stage 0

Data Extraction Workflow

The OS extraction prompt configured for your firm — populating the 1040 Extraction Workbook, renaming files to standard, and producing a structured exception report for advisor review.

Discipline

Diagnostics Discipline

A structured pre-prep diagnostic — carryforward reconciliation, prior year comparison, entity structure review — documented before any return enters preparation.

Non-Negotiable

Human Approval Gates

Mandatory advisor review at two defined points. AI populates. The advisor decides. No file moves without sign-off.

Routing

Prep Routing Protocol

A defined routing decision framework — complex returns to outsourced preparation, simpler returns to internal entry. Documented at every routing point.

Standard

Extraction Workbook

The OS 1040 Extraction Workbook — configured to your practice, updated to current year, structured so any prep track can execute from a single source document.

Intelligent
Review.

The three-stage AI review pipeline — accuracy, authority, and synthesis — configured to your stack and integrated with mandatory human oversight at every output stage.

AI — Stage 1

Accuracy Verification

Systematic accuracy review — numbers, flows, carryforwards, elections, and deduction thresholds verified before the return reaches the advisor.

AI — Stage 2

Authority Research

Cited IRC sections, regulations, and rulings supporting every planning position taken. Circular 230 defensibility built into the review pipeline.

AI — Stage 3

Planning Synthesis

Every return analyzed for planning opportunities — identified, documented, and structured for the advisory conversation. Synthesis produces the four mandatory artifacts.

Detection

Planning Trigger Detection

Systematic identification of advisory triggers on every return — entity structure, income thresholds, retirement, real estate, equity comp, and distribution opportunities.

Advisory

Advisory Delivery Prep

Planning flags are modeled and structured before client delivery — so the advisor enters every client conversation prepared with documentation, not improvising from memory.

Compliance

Compliance Standards Enforcement

Every AI output reviewed against OS compliance standards before delivery — no promissory language, no guarantees, no suitability conclusions without documented process.

Client
Delivery.

The client-facing layer of the OS — what every client receives, how every advisory conversation is structured, and how the practice experience is standardized across your full book.

Return Delivery

Enhanced Return Packet

Every client receives a structured return packet — not just a PDF. Includes the plain-language Client Summary, planning flags summary, and a clear next-steps recommendation.

Advisory

Structured Planning Proposal

Advisory opportunities presented in a structured, written format — identified opportunity, estimated impact range, implementation steps, and documented recommendation.

AI-Assisted

Meeting Capture Framework

A structured framework for capturing advisory conversation outcomes — decisions made, strategies approved, implementation responsibilities, and follow-up commitments.

Automation

Scheduling Automation

Quarterly planning touchpoints automated — invitations triggered by the OS cadence, not by client request. The practice runs on schedule — not on client initiative.

Communication

Client Communication Standard

Standardized client communication templates for every touchpoint — organizer delivery, return completion, planning conversation setup, and year-end planning preparation.

Documentation

Client File Documentation Trail

Every client interaction documented in the practice management system — advice given, decisions made, strategies approved. The file tells the complete story at every point in time.

Four mandatory artifacts.
Every return. No exceptions.

These four documents are produced on every return, every engagement — building the audit-defensible file and the structured foundation for every advisory conversation.

Artifact 01

Accuracy Exception Report

Numbers, flows, carryforwards, and elections verified before delivery. Every discrepancy flagged and resolved on the record.

Artifact 02

Planning Flags Memo

Opportunities identified directly from the return — specific, documented, and structured for the advisory conversation.

Artifact 03

Client Summary

Plain-language explanation of return outcomes and planning opportunities. Designed for the client — not the preparer.

Artifact 04

Workpaper Documentation

Audit-defensible record that the review occurred, what was found, and what decisions were made. The file tells the story.

Required on every engagement · Not optional · Human review before delivery

Important — What the OS Does Not Do

The Tax-Led Advisory OS does not guarantee tax savings, refunds, or financial outcomes of any kind. It does not file returns autonomously. It does not substitute for the advisor's professional judgment. Every critical gate requires human review and approval. AI assists workflow. The advisor decides.
