Work in table or Kanban view
Use the detailed table for data-rich operational management, or switch to the Kanban view to see tasks grouped by workflow stage, review key information on task cards and monitor work moving between statuses.
Customise the task register
- Choose which task columns are visible
- Hide columns you do not need
- Show the fields relevant to each workflow
- Freeze important columns
- Keep key information visible while scrolling horizontally
- Combine column controls with sorting and filters
Keep the information that matters in view while you review deadlines, assignees, progress and service details across a wide task register.
Customisable task page viewSee every important task field
Ownership
Assignees, managers and partner show who does, oversees and signs off the work.
Timing
Creation date, internal deadline and external deadline show what is due and when.
Progress
Status, progress status and percentage progress show how far work has moved.
Effort
Timer, estimated time and billable status show the effort involved and whether it is chargeable.
Context
Client name, task type, linked service and tags explain what the work relates to.
Collaboration
Timeline and comments keep the history and discussion one click away.
Create quick or detailed tasks
Capture a simple task in seconds, or add complete workflow details from the beginning: name, description, status, priority, assignees, internal and external deadlines, client, internal or external service, tags, estimated time and billable status where applicable.
Connect tasks to clients and services
Link work to a client and an external client service, or create internal operational tasks linked to internal services. Client work and practice work stay distinct, service-specific information is kept with the task, and client tasks remain connected to the wider client record. Not every task needs a client.
Client managementManage internal and external deadlines
Every task can carry two dates. The external deadline is the date set by the client, a filing authority or a compliance requirement. The internal deadline is an earlier date for preparation and review, giving your team an operational buffer.
- Both deadlines visible in the task register
- Deadlines preserved in recurring workflows
- Clearer oversight of upcoming and overdue work
- Filter and sort by deadline
Assign clear responsibility
- Assign one or several team members
- Identify the responsible manager
- Record partner oversight
- Reassign tasks when responsibilities change
- Keep ownership visible to everyone
- Redistribute workload across the team
Track status and operational progress separately
The overall status shows where a task sits in the workflow. A separate progress status adds context, for example Information Requested, Information Received or Reminders Off, and percentage completion shows how far the work has moved. Together they say more than a simple open-or-complete flag.
- Not Started
- In Progress
- Awaiting Feedback
- Complete
- Archived
- Snoozed
Break work down with subtasks
Add named subtasks with their own deadlines and estimated time, complete them individually and monitor progress across complex work from the central task workspace. A year-end job might, for example, be split into preparation, review, approval and submission, your firm decides the steps.
SubtasksAdd subtasks to multiple tasks at once
Select several tasks and add common subtasks to all of them, applying consistent steps to VAT, payroll, bookkeeping or year-end workflows and cutting repetitive setup.
Bulk add subtasksStandardise work with checklists
- Add structured checklists to tasks
- Follow step-by-step procedures
- Mark items as completed
- Use checklist templates
- Keep recurring services consistent
- Reduce the risk of missed steps
Request additional information from a task
Start an information request while working on a task without losing its context. The request stays associated with the work, the task records that information has been requested, progress can be updated when it arrives, and the assigned team keeps visibility throughout. Follow-ups can be supported through reminders or task workflows where configured.
Send and manage email from the task
Open email from the task to send task-related messages to clients or colleagues, using email templates where available. Communication stays with the relevant work, there is less switching between systems, and other team members keep the context.
Store attachments with the task
Add relevant files and supporting documents to the task so they stay with their workflow, the team works from the correct information and the task record is complete.
Summarise tasks with AI
When your firm connects its own AI key, Remindoo can generate an AI summary of a task, pulling the details, comments and activity into a concise overview. It helps managers and new assignees get up to speed on a piece of work without reading the full history.
- Available when you add your own AI key
- Summarises task details, comments and activity
- Helps handovers and reviews move faster
- Your firm controls whether AI is enabled
See invoicing and outstanding balances in context
Invoicing is being added to Remindoo so you can see any outstanding balance alongside the client’s work. When a task relates to an unpaid engagement, the team will be able to see what is owed while the work is in progress, useful context before starting the next job or chasing payment.
Collaborate through comments and colleague tags
Add comments, record internal updates and tag colleagues so discussions stay connected to the work instead of being scattered across chats and inboxes.
Comments and colleague taggingMaintain a complete task timeline
The timeline is an activity history recording relevant events such as status changes, reassignments, deadline updates, task edits and comments or workflow updates, improving accountability and visibility.
Task timelineRecord time directly against work
- Start and stop the task timer
- Record time against tasks
- See active timer status
- Review time spent
- Compare estimated and actual effort
- Identify billable and non-billable work
Track estimated time and task progress
Add an estimated time, monitor percentage progress and compare expected effort with recorded time. Managers gain better visibility of ongoing work and a firmer basis for workload planning.
Manage billable and internal work
Mark whether a task is billable to separate chargeable client work from internal practice activity, then use time information to understand where the team’s effort goes.
Automate recurring accounting tasks
Create repeating work on daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly or yearly schedules. Each cycle keeps its client and service alignment, responsibilities and internal and external deadlines, ideal for payroll, VAT returns, bookkeeping, management accounts and annual compliance.
Recurring tasksCreate reusable service and workflow templates
- Service template
- Tasks and subtasks
- Checklist
- Assignees
- Estimated time
- Deadlines
- Reminder configuration
- Recurring schedule
- Generated workflow cycle
Manage multiple tasks with bulk actions
Bulk add subtasks
Add common workflow steps across many tasks to standardise repeated processes.
Bulk reassign
Move selected tasks to another person or team for holiday cover or workload changes.
Bulk change status
Move several selected tasks to a new status so workflow stages stay accurate.
Bulk archive
Archive finished tasks together to keep active views clean while preserving history.
Bulk delete
Remove incorrectly created or duplicate tasks, subject to permissions and confirmation. Treat deletion as permanent.
Search, filter and organise tasks
- Combine multiple filter conditions
- Filter by status, assignee, client and priority
- Filter by tags and deadlines
- Filter by service or task type
- Sort task data and control visible columns
- Freeze columns and view matching result totals
Snooze work without losing visibility
Snooze a single task or many at once to take postponed work out of immediate attention. Snoozed work sits in its own view, ready to come back into the active workflow.
Review completed and archived tasks
Separate current work from finished work, archive inactive tasks and review historical tasks with their information preserved, keeping the active register manageable.
Completed and archived tasksAutomate task workflows and reminders
- Create task automation rules
- Base rules on task status or conditions
- Configure before-or-after timing
- Connect relevant templates or details
- Choose the responsible recipient or assignee
- Activate or deactivate rules
- Manage scheduled workflow actions
- Use planned reminders for follow-ups
Recurring tasks create repeating work.
Planned reminders schedule follow-up activity.
Workflow automation performs configured actions when conditions are met.
Service templates define reusable workflow structures.

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.
