Challenge

The problem

A 28-person accounting practice was drowning in client document collection. Partners spent hours chasing missing files via email. Admin staff manually entered data from PDFs into spreadsheets before it reached the accounting system. Month-end reporting took three days because data arrived in batches throughout the month with no central tracking.

Solution

Our approach

Client portal

Built a secure portal where clients upload documents, complete structured forms, and see real-time status of their submissions. Automated reminders replaced manual follow-up emails.

Document processing pipeline

Incoming documents are classified, extracted, and validated automatically. Data flows directly into the practice management system without manual re-entry.

Partner dashboard

Live view of every client's submission status, bottlenecks, and upcoming deadlines. Partners see problems before they delay reporting.

Outcomes

Results

  • 18 hours of manual admin work eliminated per week across the team
  • Client onboarding reduced from 2 weeks to under 3 days
  • Month-end reporting compressed from 3 days to same-day updates
  • Document error rate dropped by 76% through validation at upload

We used to spend the first week of every month just collecting what we needed. Now clients upload as they go, and we see everything in one place. It's changed how we work.
