Frequently Asked Questions

How does AgencyPro separate tax preparation from monthly bookkeeping retainers?

AgencyPro supports both project-based and retainer billing. Create separate project invoices for tax preparation work (individual returns, business returns, amended returns), which are typically seasonal and project-based. Separately, set up monthly bookkeeping retainer invoices that include tracked bookkeeping hours. Clients see clear separation between seasonal tax work and ongoing bookkeeping services, helping them understand what they pay for each accounting service.

Can I bill differently for tax preparation versus advisory services?

Yes, AgencyPro lets you categorize accounting work by service type, so tax preparation, bookkeeping, advisory services, and audit work can be tracked separately. When creating invoices, include these as distinct line items with different billing rates, showing clients what they pay for different types of accounting services. This separation helps justify accounting pricing and demonstrates the different expertise and time required for compliance versus advisory work.

How do I handle seasonal tax season invoicing efficiently?

AgencyPro supports bulk invoice creation and project templates, making tax season invoicing efficient. Create tax prep project templates, then generate invoices for multiple clients quickly. Track time spent on each tax return, then create invoices that show tax prep work completed. You can also set up automated invoice generation from tracked tax prep time, reducing administrative work during busy tax seasons.

What if clients want to see which tax returns were prepared or which bookkeeping tasks were completed?

AgencyPro invoices support detailed line items and descriptions. When creating invoices from tracked accounting work, you can add notes specifying which tax returns were prepared (individual, business, amended), which bookkeeping tasks were completed, which advisory services were provided, or which audit work was performed. This level of detail helps clients understand the scope of accounting work completed and justifies accounting service pricing, leading to better client relationships and fewer billing questions.
