Every firm will have different details in its process, but the goal is to standardize the process.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Sloan says, \u201cStandardizing workflow is the key for us to be productive so that we can serve our clients well. We put every single step of the service engagement in a Trello card which makes it easy to check off as we go and provide quality control for our team.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>The components of your core advisory workflow<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The core five segments<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Invoicing<\/li>\n<li>Onboarding<\/li>\n<li>Evaluation\/Analysis<\/li>\n<li>Guidance<\/li>\n<li>Action<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Component intervals<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Invoicing happens at the beginning of the engagement and continues at regular monthly intervals for most engagements.<\/li>\n<li>Onboarding happens next to kick off the engagement and gathers all relevant information.<\/li>\n<li>Steps 3-5 happen in a repeat cycle as your engagement continues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Within each stage, there is generally a dance between:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tasks your firm does.<\/li>\n<li>Tasks the client needs to do.<\/li>\n<li>Tasks you do together (meetings).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each firm will have different processes within its workflow and slightly different workflows for each advisory offering, but the process segments are universal.<\/p>\n<h2>Supporting software<\/h2>\n<p>You can find a tool to support almost every stage in your workflow. Following is a list of tools recommended by the Tax Council.<\/p>\n<p>John Jordan leverages Practice Ignition templates to create proposals for tax plans and other services. \u201cIt showcases our brand and makes the client onboarding easier and faster for us and clients. It allows clients to review our proposal, sign the engagement letter, and enter their payment information all in one place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott Sloan recommends, &#8220;We engage directly with clients using all our cloud apps like QuickBooks Online, Slack, Google Suite and other apps. We connect some apps using Zapier to eliminate data entry. It feels like we are in the same office with our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Invoicing, proposals and onboarding<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/proconnect.intuit.com\/tax-advice-planning-for-professionals\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\">Intuit Tax Advisor<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/quickbooks.intuit.com\/accountants\/products-solutions\/accounting\/quickbooks-online\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\">QuickBooks\u00ae Online<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/proconnect.intuit.com\/ignition\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\">Ignition<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/proconnect.intuit.com\/practice-management\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\">Intuit Practice Management<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Evaluation\/Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/proconnect.intuit.com\/tax-advice-planning-for-professionals\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\">Intuit Tax Advisor<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Intuit <a href=\"https:\/\/proconnect.intuit.com\/tax-online\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\">ProConnect\u2122 Tax<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/proconnect.intuit.com\/lacerte\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\">Lacerte\u00ae Tax<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/proconnect.intuit.com\/proseries\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\">ProSeries\u00ae Tax<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/quickbooks.intuit.com\/accountants\/products-solutions\/accounting\/quickbooks-online\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\">QuickBooks\u00ae Online<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This segment is about the application of your expertise and sharing that information with the client.
