Document Collection

Document collection automation gives clients one clear place to upload what the business needs and keeps staff from chasing attachments across email threads. It works well for small firms that need forms, IDs, statements, or project files before they can begin work.

1-3 hrs/week saved Easy complexity

How It Works

01

Create a request checklist

The system sends a list of required files based on the service or project type.

02

Collect uploads securely

Clients upload documents through a form, portal, or shared folder rather than emailing large attachments.

03

Track what is still missing

A dashboard or spreadsheet updates automatically so staff can see completed and outstanding items.

04

Remind clients automatically

If files are missing near the deadline, the system sends a reminder with the exact items still needed.

Key Benefits

  • Cuts time spent chasing missing files
  • Keeps client documents organized in one place
  • Reduces kickoff delays caused by incomplete paperwork
  • Makes handoffs easier when more than one team member is involved

In Practice

A tax preparer sends a checklist for W-2s, 1099s, prior-year returns, and ID documents, then automatically reminds clients who still have two missing uploads three days before their prep slot.
