Taken does not mean closed.
The broad version of this idea exists. A narrower one, for a specific buyer, city or step in the work, might not. Run the free search with what you know and who you can reach. It drops what is taken and shows what is still open.
Still open for tax preparers
These survived the same search.
Client Question Triage
A shared inbox built for small tax offices that logs client questions from text, WhatsApp and email, tags each one to a return, and shows who still owes an answer before filing day.
Prior Year Rescue
A referral service and simple intake form that lets an independent preparer hand off messy back-tax clients to a vetted preparer network for a flat fee, with no client poaching.
Client Document Chase
A simple tracker that shows which clients still owe documents, what is missing, and who has been reminded, so the office stops chasing the same people by hand.
