How to stop chasing clients for Self Assessment documents

Last updated: 4 June 2026

Self Assessment season creates the same inbox chaos every year. Replace ad-hoc emails with a checklist, a secure upload link, and logged reminders so your team knows exactly what is still missing.

ComplyChase AI helps track documents, expiry dates, reminders, uploads, and proof. It does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or compliance advice. Final responsibility remains with the business, accountant, adviser, or authorised user.

Real-world example

In January, a sole practitioner sends one upload link listing every SA document type. By week two, the dashboard shows only three clients with missing bank statements — not forty open email threads.

Problem

Why firms search for stop chasing self assessment documents

Clients reply in scattered WhatsApp and email threads.

Proof of what was requested is lost before review.
