How We Helped a Fast-Growing CPA Firm Maintain 100% On-Time Tax Filings During Peak Season

Westpine Accounting Group is a mid-sized CPA firm based in the Southeast, known for its proactive service and growing portfolio of small business clients. With year-over-year growth in tax clients, the firm was expanding quickly – but their internal team was already near capacity.

Heading into tax season, they knew one thing for sure: missing deadlines wasn’t an option.

Westpine was on track to process nearly 600 returns in just under 12 weeks. While their team was efficient, the volume spike during tax season pushed their internal systems to the edge.

Partners were spending too much time reviewing prep work and chasing documentation. They couldn’t afford delays, errors, or rushed submissions – and hiring temporary tax staff wasn’t reliable or fast enough to solve the problem.

To support the surge without slowing down, Westpine turned to Accountably. Our remote team stepped in to handle the prep and heavy lifting, letting Westpine’s CPAs stay focused on final reviews and client conversations.

We supported them with:

Organized document collection and cleanup
Tax prep work across individual and business returns
Real-time task tracking with daily check-ins
Return-ready files delivered ahead of internal review timelines

With Accountably behind the scenes, Westpine delivered on time – every single time.
