Tasks and workflow

Task management for accountants: get jobs out of spreadsheets and inboxes

When year-end accounts, VAT returns and payroll runs are tracked across a spreadsheet, a shared inbox and one partner's memory, nobody has the full picture. Work is only visible when somebody asks about it, and a missed step is discovered by the client or by HMRC rather than by the firm.

Why this happens in accounting firms

When year-end accounts, VAT returns and payroll runs are tracked across a spreadsheet, a shared inbox and one partner's memory, nobody has the full picture. Work is only visible when somebody asks about it, and a missed step is discovered by the client or by HMRC rather than by the firm.

It is rarely a people problem. It is usually a process that grew up informally while the firm was small and never moved into a shared system.

How Remindoo fixes it

Quick and detailed task creation, Smart Task Card

  • Create a task in seconds from anywhere, or build a detailed task with client, service, assignee, due date and subtasks.
  • Open the task card to see status, deadlines, comments and history in one place instead of reading back through email threads.
  • Filter the full list by client, service, person or date so the spreadsheet is no longer needed.

Why consistent client communication matters

Much of an accountant's week goes on chasing records and answering the same questions. Standard messages and timely reminders cut that chasing down.

Records arrive sooner

Reminders sent well before a deadline give clients time to send what you need.

Professional and consistent

Templates keep tone, content and deadlines accurate, whoever sends the email.

Less manual work

Tokens merge client details into messages, so one template works for every client.

A clear audit trail

Sent messages recorded on the client timeline show what was asked for and when.

Practical tips from UK practice

  • Send the first records request at least six weeks before the internal deadline.
  • Keep reminder emails short, with one clear action and a date.
  • Review templates each tax year so dates and rules stay current.
  • Use bulk emails for practice-wide updates such as new rules or office closures.
