SurePrep was founded with a simple goal in mind, to allow CPA firms to outsource their tax processing in an efficient and cost effective fashion. By using SurePrep CPA firms can prepare far more tax returns at a significantly lower cost, without sacrificing quality or control. The standard turnaround on a tax return is two to three business days. One day is also available if need be. SurePrep offers numerous advantages including increased availability of qualified personnel, faster turnaround, secure online access and higher customer satisfaction and perhaps most importantly, lower cost. By outsourcing the preparation to SurePrep, an accounting firm can save up to 50% over present costs. Companies can reduce - or even eliminate - their need to increase staff during the peak tax season. By capturing and storing client tax information in digital format, CPAs are able to take advantage of the latest technology to improve workflow and speed tax preparation processes. Client companies maintain their original hard copy of their customer's records and can access their electronic files from anywhere on the Internet to see the status of each return. Once the return is complete, it is securely transmitted in a file format compatible with your tax software. SurePrep offers U.S. accounting firms a web-based file cabinet where tax return data is stored on servers at the SBC data center in Irvine, California. Returns can be processed on most popular tax software packages.
