ICAEW Technology AccreditationRated Excellent on Trustpilot

Built for UK accountants, bookkeepers and growing accountancy practices.

How it works

A growing practice can send hundreds of proposals a year, so finding the right one quickly matters. Remindoo gives you two searches. The global search at the top of the page, set to the Proposals module, finds a proposal by its lead once you type three or more characters. Typing "Oakridge" returns the LOE draft for Oakridge Dental Practice Ltd with its status and creation date, and opens in one click. The Search Proposal Here box above the table searches by proposal name. Proposal Column Visibility lists all eight columns (Lead name, Proposal Name, Status, Pricing, Created by, Sent by, Creation Date and Sent Date). You can reorder them from a numbered dropdown and freeze up to five, so key details stay in view while you scroll. Filters answer pipeline questions. Combine conditions on status, lead name, pricing, proposal name and dates, using is, is not, are, or in between for dates. Save & Apply Filter, and the conditions appear as chips such as "Status in list Draft, Sent", with a count of matching proposals. Filters stay saved until you remove a chip, so each person keeps the working view they use for proposal tracking.

Why tracking leads and proposals matters

Every enquiry a practice fails to follow up is lost fee income. A clear pipeline shows which prospects need a reply, a proposal or a follow-up.

Faster replies

Prospects often contact more than one firm, so the firm that replies first and clearly has an advantage.

Consistent proposals

Templates and a services catalogue keep scope and pricing consistent whoever writes the proposal.

Signed terms from day one

E-signed engagement letters confirm scope and responsibilities before work begins.

No re-keying

Converting a won lead into a client keeps the details you already collected.

Practical tips from UK practice

  • Reply to every new enquiry within one working day.
  • Use lead statuses that match your real sales stages, and review them weekly.
  • Send the engagement letter with the proposal so the client signs once.
  • Record why lost leads were lost, to improve pricing and messaging.
