How Word-based workflows describe themselves internally
Partners maintain a template library: Discovery outline, strategy memo, engagement letter, fee summary. Operators copy the latest file, paste transcript notes, adjust numbers, export PDF, and store the result wherever the firm keeps client documents.
What template workflows handle well
- Full control over prose and layout in a familiar editor
- Low software cost — templates are already paid for
- Easy one-off customization for unusual cases
What Brevitax changes in the same motion
Templates encode what the firm wants to say. Brevitax encodes where the numbers came from — IRS account, 433 intake, client consultation — and regenerates deliverables when evidence refreshes.
- Discovery and Strategy PDFs tied to parsed transcripts and logic output — not pasted cells
- Work Verification and fee summary methodology consistent case to case
- Client portal, e-sign, and billing events on the same record as the deliverable
- When staff turns over, the next operator inherits the case story — not a folder of .docx versions
Migration without throwing away templates
Firms often parallel-run: new engagements on Brevitax first, legacy templates for closed files until a dispute forces reconstruction. The goal is one standard on open matters, not a weekend template purge.
