The problem: Missed deadlines

Your filing dates live in a spreadsheet, a wall calendar, and your memory — so one overlooked date turns into a penalty and an awkward call.

Never miss a client deadline again.

Tracking filing dates, extensions, and compliance tasks across clients in your head and a spreadsheet is how deadlines slip. CPA Buddy tracks every deadline across jurisdictions and reminds the right person before it is late.

The cost of doing nothing

A single missed filing is rarely just an apology. In Canada, the CRA late-filing penalty can be 5% of the balance owing plus 1% for each month late; in the US, the IRS failure-to-file penalty can run 5% per month up to 25%. Add the client you lose when it was your job to remember — and the math gets ugly fast.

How CPA Buddy solves it

1

Every deadline in one calendar

Personal, corporate, trust, sales tax, and extension dates are tracked per client across CRA, IRS, and other jurisdictions — not scattered across tabs and sticky notes.

2

Reminders that reach the right person

Automated workflow reminders nudge the assigned staff member before a date is due, so nothing depends on someone happening to remember.

3

Turn a deadline into a tracked task

Each upcoming filing becomes a task with an owner and a due date, moving through your review steps so you can see what is on track and what is at risk.

4

Repeat it for every client automatically

Build a deadline workflow once and assign it to hundreds of clients. Recurring dates regenerate each cycle — set it up once, not every year.

You see risk before it is a penalty

At-risk filings surface early while there is still time to act — not the morning they are due.

Tax season stops being a scramble

Hundreds of returns move through your firm with a clear status on each one, instead of a frantic spreadsheet review.
