Accounting & BookkeepingDocument Management4HighBookkeeper$ implied

Bookkeepers waste time manually chasing clients for documents, and existing practice management suites are too expensive and complex for solo bookkeepers and small firms.

Existing solutions are full practice suites costing $66-100/user/mo with 1-3 year contracts, offering far more than needed just for document collection. They also require client logins which fail.

Workarounds Described

using a full practice suite just to chase documents
relying on client portals that fail because clients won't log in

App Concept

ClientDoc Chase

A lightweight, standalone tool that automates client document collection for bookkeepers. It replaces expensive practice suites with a simple chase system: per-client checklists, magic-link uploads (no logins), and escalating reminders via email and SMS until files are received. Files are organized and exportable to QBO.

Key Features

Per-client request checklists with required documents
Magic-link upload portal with no client login required
Automatic escalating email and SMS nudges
Status dashboard showing which clients are blocking month-end close
Organized file storage with export to QuickBooks Online

Target Users: Solo bookkeepers and small accounting firms with shoebox clients who struggle to submit documents on time.

Revenue Model: $39/mo per firm, month-to-month, unlimited staff
