Reminder
For those of you that are new subscribers to Greenshades, the manual is designed to introduce you to the year-end process. For past Greenshades users it will jog your memory or act as a refresher after one of our webinars or trainings. The manual walks you through the steps needed to file your returns with Greenshades and it shows you where to find information on the standard reports.
If you are planning to have our tax team assist you with filing your returns, please plan early. Schedule your appointment via email, taxteam@avionte.com, by January 4th with our year-end team. Thank you for your partnership and please feel free to contact us with any questions.
