Historically, the burden of compiling data for the LM form has been one of the greatest challenges for Financial Secretaries, and a major cause of stress and frustration. Some unions hire a CPA to complete the forms, which still entails many hours of data compilation and a large bill for the union. But now, union Officers have a time-saving, money-saving solution in RCS Union Software’s LM Software package.

Over the years, changes to the LM forms have greatly increased the amount of time and effort needed to complete the reports.

“Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 530 hours per response. For filers who have subsidiary organizations…an additional public reporting burden is estimated to average 88 hours per response.”

That’s an estimation of up to 619 hours (nearly 26 days!) of preparation. With this software package, you will turn nearly a month of preparation into mere hours.

“Most of the time we can finish our LM-2 within a day or two with the RCS program doing most of the work for me. This feature alone is an amazing time and money saver.”
