How it works

The 8-phase client journey, installed for you.

Every client walks the same path — so your team and your clients always know where things stand. We provision, brand, and configure it; you onboard.

1

Identify taxpayer type

The journey opens by identifying who the client is — W-2, 1099 self-employed, single-member LLC, or an amendment — so everything downstream is tailored from the first screen.

  • Routes each client to the right path
  • Branded under your firm

Step 1 of 8 — Identify taxpayer type
2

Intake form

Adaptive intake branches by taxpayer type, so clients only answer the questions that apply to their filing. You receive a complete, qualified submission — no back-and-forth.

  • Questions branch by client type
  • Clean, structured submissions

Step 2 of 8 — Adaptive intake form
3

Agreement

The client reviews and accepts the engagement inside the portal. Terms are clear, recorded, and tied to their file — no separate paperwork to chase.

  • Engagement reviewed in-portal
  • Recorded and tied to the file

Step 3 of 8 — Engagement agreement
4

Payment

The client pays inside the workspace before prep begins. Funded, agreed, and ready — your preparers start work knowing the engagement is secured.

  • Payment collected in-portal
  • Work starts on a funded file

Step 4 of 8 — Payment
5

Prep + review

The preparer reviews documents and prepares the return. The client sees a clear, branded status and is notified the moment it's ready for final review and e-signature.

  • Live phase status for the client
  • No "any update?" emails
app.virtuallaunch.pro/dashboard
Step 5 of 8 — Prep + review
6

E-sign

Form 8879 e-signature handled inside the workspace with a timestamped audit trail. No mailing signatures back and forth, no scan-and-upload steps.

  • Form 8879 e-sign in-portal
  • Timestamped audit trail
app.virtuallaunch.pro/dashboard
Step 6 of 8 — Form 8879 e-signature
7

File

The return is filed with the IRS. The client's status updates automatically — they see it's filed without having to call and ask.

  • Filed status shown to the client
  • One source of truth per file
app.virtuallaunch.pro/dashboard
Step 7 of 8 — Filed with the IRS

Deliver + close

The completed return is delivered and the engagement closes out cleanly. The client has their documents, you have the record, and the file is ready for next season.

  • Final return delivered
  • Engagement closed and recorded

Step 8 of 8 — Deliver + close
