How long does it take to automate tax preparation for trades & construction businesses?

We follow a phased approach for tax preparation automation for trades & construction businesses: discovery in week one, a working prototype by 2 weeks, and full implementation within 4-8 weeks. Each phase is tested with your team before moving forward.

What tools do you integrate with for tax preparation?

We integrate with Xero, Google Sheets, Zapier and 150+ other platforms. During the free assessment we map every tool in your workflow and design the integration strategy before writing a single line of code.

How much does tax preparation automation cost?

Pricing depends on the complexity of your trades & construction workflow, the number of systems involved, and any custom business rules. Most automations fall within our standard automation tier. Book a free assessment to get a specific quote based on your requirements.

Will I need to change my existing trades & construction tools or processes?

No. We build automation around your existing trades & construction tools and processes. Our approach is to enhance what you already have, not force you onto new platforms. We connect your current systems together so data flows automatically without your team changing how they work.

What happens if something goes wrong with the automation?

Every workflow includes built-in safeguards: automatic retries for temporary failures, clear error notifications, and fallback paths for edge cases. Our 98% client retention rate reflects the reliability our clients experience long after launch.

Can you automate just part of our tax preparation process?

Yes — and it is often the smartest way to begin. We identify the tax preparation steps that eat the most time or introduce the most errors, automate those first, then reinvest the savings into the next phase. Quick wins build momentum and prove ROI early.
