Process improvement and automation
We look at how work moves through your office, cut the steps that waste time, and automate the routine tasks a computer can handle.
Bring one priority workflow to a focused 90-minute consultation. We’ll identify practical improvements and, where practical, a quick win or simple automation example. About 48 hours later, you’ll receive concise written next steps and our quote for the follow-up work. You can carry them out yourself or have ABCRON do the quoted work.
These are issues in how work moves through the office.
When that person is out, the office slows down because no one else knows the steps.
Handoffs, rework, and “just check it again” use up hours without getting more done.
The same repetitive tasks land on someone’s desk every week. Automate them, and that person has time for work that needs their judgment.
Extra help costs money, and new people walk into the same process that caused the backlog.
The figures that show how the business is doing sit in old software or take hours to pull into a report.
When the same figures are keyed into two systems, a wrong entry can sit for weeks. A check that runs as the work happens compares the two and flags what does not match, while it is still quick to fix.
What we do
1
We focus on one priority workflow and where it gets stuck. We’ll talk through practical process improvements and, where practical, a quick win or simple automation example suited to that workflow. About 48 hours later, you’ll receive concise written next steps and our quote for the follow-up work. You can carry them out yourself or have ABCRON do the quoted work.

If you choose the quoted work, we’ll confirm the scope, price, and timing with you before beginning. Implementation is optional.
Our story
ABCRON Enterprises LLC has run a tax and bookkeeping practice since 2007. As the firm grew and the software kept changing, we started bringing on temporary help for busy stretches. Every new person needed training, and someone had to check their work. Before long it looked like we needed another full-time hire.
When we looked closer, the opportunity was in the administrative work surrounding tax preparation. We used automation to simplify reporting, accounts payable and receivable, document routing, and other repeatable steps that were consuming time that should have gone to client work.
Tax and financial information is deeply sensitive, so we designed the system around a deliberate separation. AI helps us design and program administrative workflows, such as a better data-entry process, while client information stays within the firm’s established systems. The result is less repetitive work around each return and more time for the tax professional to prepare and review it.
We took the time to learn and refine this approach in small steps over several years. Along the way we realized other businesses were facing the same problem. Improve puts what we learned to work for you, so you can skip the trial and error.
