Tasks and workflow

Reassign client work in bulk when an employee leaves

When somebody hands in their notice or goes on long-term leave, their open jobs need a new owner quickly. Moving them one at a time is slow and it is easy to miss a client.

Why this happens in accounting firms

When somebody hands in their notice or goes on long-term leave, their open jobs need a new owner quickly. Moving them one at a time is slow and it is easy to miss a client.

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

Bulk reassign

  • Filter all open tasks for the departing employee.
  • Select them and reassign in one action, to one person or split across the team.
  • The task history keeps what was done before the handover so the new owner has context.

Why knowing what each employee is working on matters

In a growing practice, the partner can no longer hold every job in their head. Clear ownership and visible workload are what stop deadlines slipping when someone is on leave, busy or new.

Clear ownership

Every client and task has a named person, so nothing sits unassigned and clients get consistent answers.

Balanced workload

Seeing tasks per person helps managers move work before one person is overloaded and another is waiting.

Cover for absence

When work, notes and history live in one system, a colleague can pick up a job without starting from scratch.

Controlled access

Roles and permissions keep sensitive client and AML data visible only to people who need it.

Practical tips from UK practice

  • Group people into teams around services or client portfolios, and name a Team Lead for each.
  • Review the employee task breakdown weekly, not only when a deadline is missed.
  • Give new starters a limited role first, then widen access as they are trained.
  • Use bulk reassignment when someone leaves or goes on holiday, rather than moving tasks one by one.
