Deadlines

CRA deadline management

One deadline feed from live client data — personal tax, GST/HST cadences, year-ends and tasks — triaged by shared SLA colours.

CRA deadline management

Generated, not entered

Deadlines come from each client's fiscal year-end and service cadences. Nobody keys a date twice.

Weekend and holiday aware

A due date landing on a weekend or a Canadian statutory holiday rolls forward automatically.

One colour rule everywhere

Red, orange and green mean the same thing on the dashboard, in the feed and in the email digest.

Deadlines are the risk the whole practice runs on

A missed filing is not an inconvenience; it is interest, penalties and a conversation with a client about why the firm they pay to watch the calendar did not.

Most firms manage this with a calendar someone maintains by hand — which works exactly as long as that person is present and correct.

How the deadline engine works

Deadlines are pure date arithmetic over data the firm has already recorded: each client's fiscal year-end and each assigned service's due rule and lead time. Personal tax lands in the spring, GST/HST on each client's own cadence, year-ends relative to fiscal close.

Every generated date is then rolled forward past weekends and Canadian statutory holidays, and triaged into overdue, due soon or upcoming by proximity — the same three colours the dashboard, the feed and the email digest all use.

  • Deadlines generated from fiscal year-ends and service cadences
  • Weekend and Canadian statutory holiday roll-forward
  • Overdue / due soon / upcoming triage shared across every surface
  • Snooze, mark filed, or dismiss — the firm stays in control

What changes for the firm day-to-day

The calendar maintains itself. Adding a client with a June year-end and a quarterly GST cadence puts every one of that client's dates on the board without anyone typing a date.

Because the triage colours are shared, "what is red" means the same thing to the partner reading the dashboard and the staff member reading the digest.
