SuiteDash for accountants and bookkeepers

Document requests, engagement letters, recurring invoices and secure file exchange, ready for tax season.

An organized accounting desk with a calculator, folders and laptop

Sound familiar?

  • Tax season means hundreds of emails asking for the same documents.
  • Engagement letters go out as attachments and come back unsigned.
  • Monthly clients are invoiced by hand, every month.

Five workflows we would build for your firm

  1. Document requests

    File requests in the portal with automatic reminders until everything is uploaded.

  2. Engagement letters

    Engagement letters sent and e-signed in the portal before work starts.

  3. Recurring invoices

    Monthly bookkeeping and advisory fees invoiced automatically as subscriptions.

  4. Tax-season reminders

    Scheduled campaigns that tell each client what you need and by when.

  5. Secure file exchange

    Returns and statements shared in the portal instead of email attachments.

Accountants & bookkeepers: common questions

How do I collect client documents without chasing?

Use file requests with deadlines and automatic reminders. Clients see exactly what is missing in the portal, and reminders keep going until it is uploaded, so your team only steps in for the last few.

Is a portal better than email for client documents?

For sensitive files, yes. Documents stay in one place tied to the client record instead of scattered across inboxes, and access is controlled by login. It also gives you one history of what was sent and when.

Can SuiteDash request documents from clients?

Yes. We set up file requests in the portal with clear descriptions and deadlines, plus automatic reminders until each file is uploaded. Clients see a simple list of what is missing, and your team can see who is still outstanding at a glance.

Can clients sign engagement letters in SuiteDash?

Yes. SuiteDash has documents and e-signing, so engagement letters can be sent, signed and stored in the portal. We can make signing part of onboarding, so no work starts until the letter is signed.

Can SuiteDash connect to QuickBooks or Xero?

Yes, through an integration or an automation platform, depending on your setup. We decide which system owns invoices first, then connect and test with dummy records so your bookkeeping stays consistent and nothing is invoiced twice.

Can bookkeepers use SuiteDash too?

Yes. The same setup works well for bookkeeping practices: monthly subscriptions, recurring document requests, month-end task templates and a portal where clients see reports and messages. We adjust the workflows to how your practice runs.
