If you prep business returns, you already know where the time goes. And it's not the tax decisions.
It's the 80 P&L categories that need to map to 40 lines on a return. It's meals getting split to 50% and entertainment getting zeroed out and a new equipment purchase getting flagged for depreciation, all while you're keying numbers in by hand from an exported spreadsheet. It's the expense that slips through because the chart of accounts called it something vague. And it's the 45 minutes at the end of every return spent tying everything back to make sure nothing was missed.
When it reaches your reviewer, there's no visibility. No way to verify where numbers came from or how expenses were categorized. The reviewer is starting from scratch, re-checking manual work.
This is how most firms prep business returns today. It's how they prepped them 10 years ago.

How it works
This past tax season, firms using Juno for 1040s saw incredible results: 50% less time per return, admin staff handling 90% of prep, and thousands of returns processed with confidence. Today we're bringing that same approach to business returns: Form 1120 (C-Corp), Form 1120-S (S-Corp), and Form 1065 (Partnership). Juno handles the extraction, categorization, and validation. Your team handles the judgment.
Here's how it works for business returns.
Juno connects to QuickBooks or Xero at the firm level. When you start a business return, Juno pulls the P&L and balance sheet directly for that client. No exporting. No re-keying.
From there, Juno auto-maps your P&L categories to the corresponding tax return categories. Meals get split to 50%. Entertainment gets zeroed out. Penalties get flagged as non-deductible. You review the mapping, reclassify what needs reclassifying, and approve.
Because Juno maps every number from source to return, everything ties automatically. The 45-minute manual tie-out at the end of every return disappears.
When it reaches your reviewer, every categorization decision is visible. Reviewer completes a full analysis of the completed business return, the same way it does on 1040s today.
Why the tie-out matters most
Every firm we've talked to about business returns circles back to the same frustration. The prep itself is manageable. But the tie-out at the end, the 45 minutes spent making sure every number made it from QuickBooks to the return without something getting dropped, is where the real time goes.
When Juno handles source-to-return validation, the tie-out isn't something you do at the end. It's something that's already done.
