How UK firms use this workflow

Typical firm scenario

A practice manager replaces Friday inbox chasing with one dashboard: each client shows missing AML items, overdue VAT files, and uploaded proof with reminder history attached.

Example: AML refresh packs

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

Example: Year-end evidence

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