New: Job time budget and time variance in TaxDome — unleash data-driven productivity and profitability

Introducing Job time budget and time variance in TaxDome: a new feature we’ve released to help you take your firm’s productivity and profitability to the next level.

Job time budget and time variance give your firm the ability to set a time estimate for a job and compare it to the time spent — empowering you to unlock new data-driven insights to help you effectively manage your employees, boost efficiency across your firm, and maximize profitability.

Before this release, it was already possible to bill time easily in TaxDome using our Time entries feature. Now, with Job time budget and time variance, you can also see both planned and actual time spent, allowing for more accurate billing and better planning.

This is just the beginning of what your firm will gain using Job time budget and time variance. Explore every advantage below — plus what’s coming in the next part of this release.
