1. Add your firm, team and clients
Add clients individually or use the guided spreadsheet import to bring in clients, entities, contact details, managers and obligations in bulk. Firm admins can invite directors, managers and staff, then control which clients each person can access.
2. Set each client's recurring obligations
Choose the obligations that apply to each client, including BAS, IAS, income tax, FBT, TPAR, super, ASIC and custom work. Smart Dates prepopulate common due dates, while monthly, quarterly and annual cycles generate the next obligation after the current one is completed.
3. Plan the work before the statutory due date
Use the workflow planner to schedule when work should begin or be completed, allocate it to staff and review capacity by week, fortnight or month. Internal recurring tasks can sit beside client obligations, and visible workflow dates can be synced to Outlook.
4. Automate client reminders and monitor replies
Create templates and reminder timings by obligation type. TaxCalendar prepares the reminder queue, sends staged emails, records delivery, opens, clicks, bounces and failures, and keeps replies or unmatched inbound messages visible for the team.
5. Track progress and complete the cycle
The dashboard and calendar show upcoming, overdue and lodged obligations by client, type, manager and status. Open the relevant client directly, mark work as lodged when complete, and let TaxCalendar create the next recurring obligation with its reminder schedule.
6. Share each client's obligations calendar
Download or email a client's financial-year obligations calendar as a styled PDF, CSV or ICS file. Clients can print the PDF or add the calendar file to Outlook, Google Calendar or Apple Calendar without needing their own TaxCalendar login.
