What it does

The view a firm owner wants at 7am.

Grove already knows which step every return is in. Command Center turns that into decisions: what is stuck, who to chase, and who on the team needs help.

Stage board

Every client on one board, in the same six steps Grove runs, with a red/amber/green pill for deadline risk on each card.

Chase list

Clients ranked by deadline risk times days stalled, so the first call of the morning is always the right one.

One-click nudges

A friendly reminder drafted from the client's actual missing documents. Review, tweak, send.

Preparer load

Returns per preparer by stage. Spot the overloaded desk in October, not in the second week of April.

How it fits the Grove workflow

A layer above all six steps.

Nothing new for clients to learn. Command Center reads the status Grove already records at each step and rolls it up for the whole firm.

Why now

Capacity is the constraint.

886k

Preparers with a PTIN

Many work in small firms where the owner is also the dispatcher. Grove's per-return pricing already meets them where they are.

Fewer accounting grads

The pipeline is thinner each year. When hands are scarce, the owner's attention is the resource to spend well.

Inside every prep tool

Intuit, Thomson Reuters and Wolters Kluwer now ship AI inside their prep software. A firm-wide view across vendors and clients sits naturally with Grove.

Data that agents can use

Grove shipped the first MCP server built for tax practices. The same stage data behind this board can answer an agent's questions too.
