ClientCollect for Bookkeeping

Close the month, not the inbox.

One recurring checklist for every client — bank statements, receipts, payroll, invoices. They upload as the month closes while you reconcile instead of chasing.

Why bookkeepers switch

The monthly close shouldn't start with a chase.

Every month the same routine: emailing five clients for the same missing statement. ClientCollect turns your close into a recurring checklist clients actually finish.

Close on schedule

Automatic reminders collect each client's documents on time — the median request is finished in minutes, not days of back-and-forth.

The right document, first time

Each item says exactly what you need — "all pages of the statement, including the summary page" — so you stop re-asking.

Statements off email

Bank and card statements move through an encrypted portal with an audit trail — not scattered across inbox attachments.

Every entity, one view

Multiple companies or accounts per client — separate checklists, one clear picture of what's still outstanding.

Recurring requests

Match the checklist to your close cycle.

Reuse the same checklist every period. Staged requests release monthly, quarterly and year-end documents exactly when you need them.

Everything to reconcile the month.

The numbers behind each pay run.

What the quarter-end needs.

Sales invoices · Loan statements · Asset purchases
4

Year-end

Year-end statements · Inventory count · Accountant's queries
Meet Colette

Colette speaks fluent close.

Tell Colette "monthly close, retail client, two bank accounts and payroll" and she drafts the recurring checklist — stages, items, plain-English descriptions and all.

  • Drafts the full close checklist
    From one sentence about the client — retail, e-commerce, sole trader, she adjusts the documents.
  • Flags what reconciliation needs anyway
    Payroll on the books but no payroll summary requested? Colette catches it before you do.
  • Translates accounting-speak for clients
    "Reconciliation statement" becomes "your full bank statement for the month" — fewer wrong uploads.

For your clients

Clients send it without thinking about it.

Your clients run businesses, not filing systems. The portal makes their monthly upload effortless — no login, no PDF wrangling, no "which statement was that."

  • One secure link, no account
    Works on any device. The same link comes back each period, ready for what you need.
  • Branded to your practice
    Your logo and colors — clients see their bookkeeper, not a third-party tool.
  • Questions on the exact item
    "Do you need the card statement too?" lands on that item — not in a lost email.
Security & compliance

Built for financial data and GDPR.

Client financials are sensitive business and personal data under GDPR. ClientCollect protects every statement and receipt from the first upload.

Encrypted in transit

Bank statements and payroll never travel as plain email attachments.

Timestamped audit trail

Who requested, uploaded, viewed and accepted each document — ready for any review.

Client consent, recorded

Privacy notices and GDPR-compliant e-consent captured before the first document is shared.

Admin controls

Firm owners manage settings, billing and team access, with passwordless sign-in for everyone.

"The close used to start with three days of chasing statements. Now the checklist goes out automatically and the documents are waiting when I sit down to reconcile."
