  • Advice provided
  • Agreed actions with owners and deadlines

Send this from Remindoo

Save it once in Remindoo and send it from there. Store the wording as an email template, then use tokens so client names, company numbers and dates fill in automatically. Send it to one client or to a filtered group with bulk client emails. For requests that repeat, pair it with automated reminders and a recurring task so it goes out every period without anyone remembering. For engagement letters and proposals, use proposals and letters of engagement with e-signatures.

What are the common mistakes?

  • Sending notes too late
  • Failing to document specific advice
  • Unclear action owners
  • Ignoring follow-up items
“Automation saves time and no follow-up is missed.”

Why a single client record matters

When client details, deadlines, documents and conversations are spread across inboxes and spreadsheets, time goes on searching instead of on client work.

One version of the truth

Everyone sees the same services, contacts, deadlines and notes for each client.

Accurate deadlines

Companies House sync brings in company details and filing dates, reducing manual errors.

Better client service

A full timeline means anyone can answer a client question with the history in front of them.

Secure document sharing

A client portal is safer than sending financial documents as email attachments.

Practical tips from UK practice

  • Import companies from Companies House rather than typing details by hand.
  • Record every service a client takes, so recurring work is created automatically.
  • Add a short note after every important client call.
  • Ask clients to upload documents through the portal rather than by email.
