Bookkeepers do not need another full practice suite. They need the monthly chase to stop stealing billable hours and delaying client work.
Month-end close slips because one client forgot statements and another sent payroll after the deadline.
Receipts come through email, Drive, Dropbox, text messages, and random portal links. Nothing feels complete.
The owner knows who still owes what, but only after checking threads, folders, and a tracking spreadsheet.
The first version stays intentionally narrow: checklist, upload, reminders, review status, and export. No accounting engine, no bloated client portal.
Reuse document checklists for common client types like retail, services, contractors, and payroll clients.
Each client gets a secure checklist link and can upload missing files without creating an account.
Send polite nudges before and after due dates, then stop once every required item is approved.
Filter clients by ready, waiting, and past due so the bookkeeper knows where to spend attention.
Mark a file as approved, wrong month, unreadable, or incomplete and trigger a focused follow-up.
Export approved files by client and month for Google Drive, Dropbox, or local bookkeeping folders.
Pricing should feel like a tiny fraction of the time wasted chasing clients. Use this to test willingness to pay before building a full backend.
For bookkeepers testing the workflow with up to 10 clients.
For a solo bookkeeper managing recurring monthly clients.
For small firms with a shared monthly close process.
This form is intentionally simple for MVP validation. Use responses to qualify prospects, schedule calls, and confirm whether $29-$49 per month feels fair.
