Accounting, tax, and audit
Every filing you owe, across every client, before the busy-season pile lands. A deadline tracker built for the recurring, consequence-heavy due dates that define the profession.
Tax and accounting is about the cleanest fit there is for a deadline tracker, because the whole job is externally-imposed, recurring, consequence-heavy due dates carried across a book of clients. Each client has their own 941s, their own sales-tax filings, their own year-end. It isn't one calendar. It's dozens, overlapping.
The penalty for a miss is severe, and it's personal. Failure to file runs five percent a month, up to twenty-five. The client eats the penalty, but you wear the blame, and late-filing claims against preparers are climbing. Sales-tax penalties are often steeper still, and they vary by state.
And the load is invisible until it lands. A spreadsheet doesn't show you that next Wednesday has eleven filings stacked on it. The busy-season pressure builds silently and arrives all at once.
What you're tracking
April 15 and October 15, the March 15 S-corp and partnership returns, quarterly estimates, Form 941 and 940 payroll filings, 1099s and W-2s, multi-state sales-tax filings, month-end and year-end close, audit and PBC-list dates, extension deadlines.
How Deadlinewatch fits
Recurring filings, entered once. Set the 941, the monthly close, the quarterly sales-tax return once, and every occurrence appears on schedule. No rebuilding the list each cycle, and a missed one stays visible as overdue instead of vanishing.
See busy season building. The Forecast shows which weeks are stacking up, so the April and January crunches are visible weeks out, not discovered the night before.
Reminders that don't get dismissed. The email reminder reaches you with the tab closed, on your phone, overnight, unlike a pop-up you swipe away mid-task. It's on from the first deadline you add.
A clean record per client. Stream each client's filings into their own colored group, and Completed keeps the dated proof of what you filed and when, quiet defensibility for the 'you missed my deadline' conversation.
What it isn't
Deadlinewatch isn't a practice-management suite with portals, billing, and staff routing. It's the personal, at-a-glance view of your own deadlines, for the individual who needs to see every filing and never miss one, without administering a whole platform.
