In summer, many companies slow down, but tax obligations don’t take a vacation. If the business depends on a single person to invoice, download XML files, review bank statements, or respond to notices, one week of absence can result in an incomplete monthly closing.

Which processes need a backup

ProcessRisk without backup
InvoicingLate issued CFDI, pending cancellations, or client errors.
BanksUnidentified deposits and delayed reconciliations.
PayrollUnreported incidents and late stamped receipts.
Tax Mailbox (Buzón Tributario)Notices seen outside the internal process.

Before someone leaves

  • Define primary and backup responsible persons for each tax process.
  • Store authorized access without sharing passwords insecurely.
  • Create a pending tasks list by date, amount, and responsible person.
  • Leave folder templates for CFDI, banks, payroll, and acknowledgments.
  • Confirm who approves payments and corrections during absences.

Minimum control

Continuity doesn’t mean everyone has access to everything. It means each critical obligation has a responsible person, authorization, and evidence.
