A definitive guide for accounting firms on automating client onboarding with secure portals, structured document collection, intake workflows, and follow-up automation.
A modern accounting onboarding workflow runs on a secure portal: templated request lists, structured intake forms, secure collection, and automated follow-up. It replaces email chasing with a checklist that completes itself. This guide shows how in six steps, with Alkmist as one EU-hosted, ISO 27001 option.
An accounting client onboarding workflow collects intake forms and documents through a secure portal as tracked requests, chased automatically, validated on arrival, and logged.
Onboarding is where accounting firms lose partner hours to email and PDFs. A secure portal turns it into a tracked workflow that collects and chases itself.
Done well, onboarding documents arrive in order, securely, with a trail, without loosening compliance.
Six steps from email onboarding to an automated workflow.
Turn your standard onboarding into a reusable list of tracked requests with owners and due dates.
