Global Search Across Your Accounting Practice

ICAEW Technology AccreditationRated Excellent on Trustpilot

When a client calls, you need their work in front of you quickly. Remindoo's global search lets your team look up records from one search bar instead of opening each area in turn.

Full guide

Search clients by name

Type a name into Search Clients to jump straight to the client.

Searching for a client.

Search across proposals

Type three or more characters into the search bar at the top of the page to find a proposal by its lead. Results show the proposal name, status, lead and creation date, and open in one click. The search box above the table searches by proposal name.

Searching proposals by lead name.

Search for any lead

Type in Search for Leads to narrow the list instantly. The status counts update to match your search.

Searching the leads list.

Search from one place

  • Search by name from the top of Remindoo
  • Jump straight to the record you need
  • Combine with task and client filters to narrow a list further

Respects roles and permissions

Search results follow each user's role, so people only find the records they're allowed to see.

Search inside each area too

Tasks, clients, leads, proposals and documents also have their own search boxes, so you can search within the list you're working in.

Example: a client rings about their Self Assessment

  1. The receptionist types the client's name into global search.
  2. They open the client's record and see the Self Assessment task and its status.
  3. They add a comment to the task and tag the manager with the client's question.

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.
