How a tax preparer really runs

At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for tax preparers: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.

The rush

Tax preparers see a wall of demand from January to April, with fees collected at drop-off, pickup or by link and a quiet year the rest of the time.

The menu

Return fees by form and add-ons, with bookkeeping and advisory work billed monthly in the off-season.

The payment mix

Cards at the desk, invoices for completed returns and recurring billing for clients on retainer.

The people

Preparers and a front-desk person during season; reports by preparer help with workload.

The hardware layout

A Mini at the front desk, a Flex Pocket for off-site meetings and invoicing for remote clients.

The core device is the Clover Mini.

Mini: Front desk
Flex Pocket: Off-site meetings
Station Duo: Busy-season counter

Settings worth getting right

Check the connection indicator at open so a dropped Wi-Fi link is found before the rush.
Build modifiers once so tickets read the same at the counter, the kitchen and in reports.
Turn on receipt options that match what customers ask for: paper, text or email.
Set suggested tip amounts that fit your average ticket instead of the default.
Close out the same time every day so deposits and reports line up.

What to avoid

Taking payment by check at pickup and chasing it later slows cash during the busiest weeks.

Setup and training

Installation is on site: hardware set up and tested, your items and modifiers programmed, printers and drawers connected and your staff walked through a practice rush.

A typical day, hour by hour

Reports worth reading each week

Returns by type

Fees collected

Retainer clients

shows off-season base.

How the catalog is built

Return fees by form and add-ons; retainer clients are recurring items.

Tax season compresses a year of revenue into a few months, so the calendar matters. Taking fees at drop-off or by link rather than at pickup improves cash flow in the busiest weeks, and moving off-season clients to a monthly retainer makes the slow months less slow.

The case to plan for

Fees are often collected before filing; take payment at drop-off or by link.
