Accounting systems and client portals

Stop chasing. Start closing.

Your team loses 7+ hours a week to document chasing, manual invoicing, and deadline tracking. We build the systems that handle all of it. You focus on advisory work and growing the firm.

What accounting firms lose every week to admin work

Chasing clients for documents

Nearly 70% of accounting firms say document collection causes project delays. You send the same request 3 or 4 times per client. Across 80 clients, that's 2 full days of billable time lost to follow-ups every month.

Your best staff spend their time on admin

300,000 accountants have left the profession since 2020. The ones who stayed shouldn't be entering data or formatting invoices. Every hour spent on admin is an hour not spent on advisory work that actually grows the firm.

Deadlines tracked in spreadsheets

Filing deadlines, extension dates, estimated payments. One missed deadline costs your client a penalty and costs you the relationship. Spreadsheets and memory don't scale past 30 clients.

Clients only hear from you at tax time

The number one complaint clients have about their accountant is poor communication. When your team is buried in admin, proactive updates are the first thing to go. That's how you lose clients to the firm down the street.

The average accounting firm spends 7+ hours per week on document collection and payment follow-ups alone. That's a full day of billable capacity you get back from the first month.

What we build for accounting firms

From document collection to invoicing, everything below connects to the tools you already use. QuickBooks, Xero, Google Workspace, and more. We build it, test it, and keep it running.

Secure client portal

Each client logs in to see their documents, invoices, deadlines, and task status. They upload what you need directly. Connects to QuickBooks and Xero. No email attachments, no lost files.

Document collection and classification

Clients get a checklist of exactly what you need. They upload to the portal. The system classifies each document, flags what's missing, and sends reminders on your schedule. You see status for every client in one view.

Deadline and compliance reminders

Filing deadlines, extension dates, estimated payment dates. All tracked automatically. Clients get reminders with enough lead time to act. You get a dashboard showing every upcoming date across all clients.

Invoicing on completion

When an engagement wraps up, the invoice generates based on your rates and sends to the client. Payments sync to QuickBooks or Xero. No one touches it.

Client onboarding

New client signs up. Engagement letter goes out, retainer payment collects, document request sends, and a welcome email arrives. All in the right order, same experience every time.

Client reply assistant

An assistant that handles routine client questions about deadlines, document status, and payment history. Clients get instant answers. Your team handles only the questions that need a human.
