Features
Real-Time Integration
Connect directly with your clients’ online bookkeeping platforms so that every time they make a change, your information is updated instantaneously.
Collecting Information & Preparing Workbooks
Automatically rolls over prior-year information to the current year workbook, directly connects your client’s bookkeeping software and your workbooks, and updates returns and related-entity data in real-time. With easy-to-use Excel-based workbooks, guided client setup, and one-click time tracking, tax compliance work has never been easier.
Instant Workbook & Return Preparation
Upload the PBC, either through Excel, PDF, or a real-time link to an online accounting platform, and use that data to prepare the workbooks and returns. Review, edit, then e-file.
Tax Automation
Fully automate repetitive and inefficient tasks in the tax preparation process. Import client information, either directly from a real-time connection with an online accounting system, ERP system, or from Excel, and instantly prepare entire workbooks and returns. Simply review, edit, and update what LittleNewt’s platform prepares, then e-file to the IRS or other taxing authority through our software.
Workbook & Form Integration
When preparing workbooks, you already calculated every amount that’s going to go on the forms, so why waste time transferring data from the workbook to the forms? With LittleNewt, the forms are tied directly to the workbook so once the workbook is prepared, the forms are also prepared. It instantly reflects any update or edit done in the workbook on the forms.

The automated workbook, tax return preparation, due date tracking, task management, time tracking and billing support, document storage, and client communication aspects are all rolled into an intuitive web and mobile application.
