Typical firm scenario

Client portal for accountants
Last updated: 4 June 2026
In short
Give clients a simple upload experience while your team keeps full control of requests, statuses, and proof inside the workspace.
Definition: Client portal for accountants is the process of requesting, collecting, tracking, and storing client proof documents — built for UK accountants and bookkeepers who want a lighter portal than generic practice suites who need visibility without replacing professional judgement.
