Accounting document collection

Client document collection for accounting firms

Replace scattered email threads with one private checklist link for each client request.

Client document collection falls apart when status lives in five places.

RequestFlow keeps each request, upload, receipt, and follow-up item together, so staff can see the current state without rebuilding the thread.

  • Clients send files across email, portals, shared folders, and text threads.

  • Staff cannot tell which documents are missing without re-reading the whole conversation.

  • Follow-up emails are too broad, so clients resend files you already received.

One checklist link gives every requested item a place to land.

RequestFlow is focused on the collection step: what was requested, what came in, what was accepted, and what still needs a client response.

  1. 1

    Create a checklist for one month-end, tax-prep, onboarding, or cleanup request.

  2. 2

    Send the client one private link instead of asking them to create another account.

  3. 3

    Track each item as missing, submitted, accepted, or needing replacement.

  4. 4

    Follow up only on the items that are still missing.

Example accounting firm checklist

Use plain item names tied to the client work in front of you.

  • Bank statements for all operating accounts
  • Credit card statements and receipts
  • Payroll summary and payroll tax reports
  • Loan statements and new financing documents
  • Questions or notes for unusual transactions

Why use checklist links instead of a generic portal?

  • A generic portal tells clients where to upload. A checklist tells them what is still missing.
  • A shared folder stores files. RequestFlow keeps item status visible to staff and clients.
  • Email attachments arrive in pieces. RequestFlow groups each upload under the requested item.

Built around requested items, not generic uploads.

Clients see a short checklist. Staff see which items are missing, submitted, accepted, or need replacement.

Do clients need to create an account?

The beta is designed around private checklist links so clients can upload requested files without creating an account.
