| SurePrep Express is a web-based system that categorizes source
documents as "Standard", if they have common line or box numbers (e.g., W-2, 1099,
etc.), or "Complex", if they do not. Standard source documents are
quickly identified by tax preparers and instantly routed to data entry
operators who simply match box or line numbers on the source document to those
on the input form. Complex source documents are tagged by tax preparers with a
unique point and click referencing system and then sent to data entry operators
who enter the amounts adjacent to the references. Once entered, the data can be
automatically transferred to several popular tax packages. This process enables
firms to transfer work traditionally done by tax professionals to seasonal data
entry staff with little to no training making the task of finding temporary
help during busy season infinitely easier and less expensive. And because
SurePrep Express sends all source documents for dual data entry, accuracy is
improved and review time reduced, leading to further increases in professional
productivity. Because SurePrep Express is web-based, there is no need for data entry staff to
be physically co-located with professionals. This enables several usage options.
First, firms can hire in-house data entry staff to work on-site, from home, or from any
other location. Alternatively, firms can use SurePrep's data entry service and eliminate the
need to hire, manage and equip seasonal data entry staff. And SurePrep offers both offshore
and U.S. based data entry services to meet the preferences of any firm." |
