Task management

Task Comments, Discussions and @Mentions

Questions about client work get lost in email and chat. Remindoo keeps the discussion on the task itself, and @mentions bring the right colleague in when you need them.

Built for UK accountants, bookkeepers and growing accountancy practices.

Comments and discussions on the task

Add comments to a task and reply in the conversation so the whole discussion sits with the work it's about.

@mention colleagues

Tag a colleague in a comment to bring them into the conversation. Depending on their notification settings, they can be alerted in the app or by email.

Better reviews and handovers

  • Record review points where the preparer will see them
  • Keep client queries next to the work
  • See the conversation in the task's history

Example: review notes on a VAT return

  1. The manager comments on a query about a large fuel claim and tags the bookkeeper.
  2. The bookkeeper replies with the supporting receipt reference.
  3. The manager marks the checklist item as reviewed.

Illustrative example — adapt it to your own practice's process.

Why recording every task matters in an accountancy practice

Accounting firms run on deadlines: VAT returns, payroll, confirmation statements, accounts and Self Assessment. Recording every job as a task, with an owner and a date, is the simplest way to make sure nothing is missed.

Avoid penalties

HMRC and Companies House charge penalties for late filing. A task for every deadline, with an internal date before it, gives the team a buffer.

Nothing depends on memory

Recorded tasks mean work continues when someone is off sick, on leave or has left the firm.

Consistent quality

Subtask checklists make every job follow the same steps and reviews, whoever does the work.

Visibility for managers

Filters by owner, status and deadline show at a glance what is late, what is due and who needs help.

Practical tips from UK practice

  • Set an internal deadline two to four weeks before every statutory deadline.
  • Use recurring tasks for repeat work such as VAT, payroll and bookkeeping.
  • Break larger jobs into subtasks, including a review step.
  • Comment on the task instead of by email, so the history stays with the work.
