Questions, answered

Can it track deadlines for different countries and tax regimes?

Yes. It reads whatever deadlines you have entered in your Google Calendar and Google Sheet tracker, so you can include any jurisdiction-specific filing dates alongside your own entries.

Will it submit or file anything on behalf of a client?

No. WebRun tracks and alerts on deadlines only. All submissions and filings are completed by your team through the appropriate filing portals.

How does Fathom fit into the compliance check?

Fathom confirms that the client's underlying financial data is current and synced before a deadline. If the data is stale, WebRun flags the issue so you can request updated records before the filing window closes.
