How UK firms use this workflow

Typical firm scenario

Before year-end accounts preparation, a manager applies a Companies House checklist requesting updated officer ID, bank statements, loan agreements, and fixed asset invoices for a growing client portfolio.

Example: Officer ID

A UK firm adds "Officer ID" to the client checklist, sends a secure upload link, and reviews missing items from one dashboard instead of reopening email threads.

Example: Share register

A UK firm adds "Share register" to the client checklist, sends a secure upload link, and reviews missing items from one dashboard instead of reopening email threads.
