In one line
New-client intake is where accounting firms lose days to chasing IDs, prior-year returns, and engagement letters over email. Alkmist turns intake into a structured, branded checklist with automated follow-ups, so documents come in against tracked requests, not buried in a thread.
Intake that runs itself
Four things turn onboarding from an email scramble into a clean, secure process.

Every onboarding item becomes a request with an owner and a due date, so nothing is forgotten and nothing arrives twice.

Clients upload against each request

Stop chasing new clients

Frequently asked questions
What is a secure client onboarding portal for accounting firms?
It is a branded, secure space where a firm collects new-client documents and information through a structured checklist instead of email. Each item is tracked with an owner and a due date, and the portal chases outstanding items automatically.
How does Alkmist speed up onboarding?
Alkmist replaces email threads with a reusable intake template, automated follow-ups, and secure uploads against each request, so documents arrive in order and partners stop chasing them by hand.
Is client data secure during onboarding?
Yes. Alkmist encrypts data in transit and at rest, is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, keeps client data on EU infrastructure, and screens files on upload.
Can clients onboard in our firm's brand?
Yes. The portal is white-labeled with your logo, colours, and domain, so clients onboard in your brand rather than a third-party interface.
