When to use this workbook

Use this tax advisor onboarding readiness check workbook to connect agreed scope, available records and open access tasks before the next review. Keep the three records distinct so a missing item is visible.

Compare written commitments for the same entities, years and implementation work. Separate evidence about a provider from projections about your own situation.

Review checkpoint: A review, credential or savings illustration cannot replace a written scope. Confirm who owns the next task, its cost and the period of support.
