Saving Money on the July 1 Annual Report

 

WUES Technician Dan Roos has developed the following checklist for our clients to save you both time and money in preparing your Annual Report. Having the following field by field information and records available for your technician will speed up the process, require fewer return trips and follow-up calls, and help to ensure a more accurate report. Many of these details are included in last year's Annual Report, so it's a good idea to have a copy of your last report available as well.
