Client portals for accountants: Make missing documents clear to your clients.
Give clients one view of documents, questions and next steps. Your team can distinguish submitted information, reviewed material and unanswered requests.

Clarification requested- Period
- Second quarter
- Bank documents

Ask only for what is still missing
Most documents have arrived. Link the remaining question to the relevant payment instead of sending the complete document request again.

A full upload folder is not a complete client file.
Clients send documents across several email threads. Staff must establish the relevant period and whether an earlier question has been answered. Meanwhile, the client receives another general reminder. The Vorlyo client portal tracks submission, review and questions separately. Reminders can address the missing item rather than asking for the entire file again.
Client portals for accountants
Example- 1
Request by file and period
DoneExplain which documents are needed and why.
- 2
Separate receipt from review
In progressConfirm that a file has arrived without implying that it is correct, readable or complete.
- 3
Keep questions with the relevant item
NextAssociate clarification with the document or submission task.
From a document request to a focused follow-up.
Request by file and period
Explain which documents are needed and why. Give recurring requests a distinct period so last quarter’s file is not mistaken for a new submission. A colleague determines which requests apply to the client.
Separate receipt from review
Confirm that a file has arrived without implying that it is correct, readable or complete. The assigned colleague can accept it for further processing or request a specific clarification.
Keep questions with the relevant item
Associate clarification with the document or submission task. Retain the response there and stop the corresponding reminder when it arrives. Your colleague decides whether the answer is sufficient.
Keep accounting in the package chosen for that work.
A client portal does not need to become another accounting system. Bookkeeping stays in your own package; the portal handles collection, questions and file status. Connecting your practice software is switched on at the start: document requests and file status follow along, and reviewed files move on to the document system. Decide which files remain in the portal. We import your client list during setup.
One contact manages several businesses
Ask the user to select the relevant file deliberately. Permission for one company must not automatically expose another company’s documents.
A client submits a revised document
Preserve the association with the original request and identify the new version. The reviewer must be able to see which version was assessed.
Another colleague takes over
Show outstanding questions and earlier replies during the handover. Reassign the file without requiring clients to explain everything again.

Read the storyAt the start: clients, files and permissions.
At the start we set up client roles, file structure, collection tasks and reminders, and import your clients. Access per client and staff member, retention and deletion are agreed together. We set up the client portal for your firm once; after that a fixed monthly licence covers hosting, updates and support. The portal supports the workflow; professional financial assessment remains with your team.

Explore pricing and optionsCan each client have a different checklist?
Yes. Checklists can follow the file and reporting period, with staff able to omit irrelevant requests.
Can reminders be sent automatically?
Yes, based on outstanding tasks and agreed timing. Received documents are not requested again as missing items.
Will clients only see their own documents?
That is the starting point. Access by client, company and staff member is set up at the start and checked together with you.
Does this replace our document system?
Not necessarily. It can handle client-facing collection while your existing application continues supporting internal processing.

- Quotation portals for printing companiesBring quantities, paper, finishing and files together. Clients see what they requested; your team knows which version was reviewed and which approval is outstanding.
Document collection without the chase.
Start with a short intake. Then we schedule a call to show the software with your services, team and way of working.
