Accounting and Tax Advisory Firm
Accounting, Tax Advisory and Bookkeeping
We replaced the endless ping-pong of emails and phone calls for collecting documents for annual returns — with a smart dynamic form that lives inside the firm's existing Monday, syncs two-way, and gets the firm ready for filing season without a hitch.
The Challenge
Before every annual filing season, collecting documents from clients was the process that consumed the most time and caused the most headaches. Each client first gets a phone call just to build a tailored document list from an email template — and then the real pain begins: clients send incorrect documents (forms from the wrong years, irrelevant documents), get confused between tax years, and forget to attach part of the material. Every such gap triggers another round of correction emails. Documents arrive scattered between WhatsApp and email, across several separate messages and weeks apart, and the staff have to search and scroll to find what's already been received and what's missing. At the same time, the overload of reminders and automations annoyed clients to the point that some left the firm. And above it all hovered a real legal risk — there had already been a lawsuit over a document delay — which demanded precise documentation of who requested what and when.
The Solution
We built an end-to-end automated document collection system that lives inside the firm's existing Monday flow without breaking it and without moving clients to a new system. From the message that is already sent to the client about the start of the annual return, the client chooses between two clear buttons: scheduling a call via Calendly or filling it out independently via a form. At the start of the form, the system pulls from Monday the details that already exist about the client and asks them to confirm or update — so we don't rely on old information, and we don't ask the client to type in what's already known. The questionnaire itself is dynamic: a tree of conditional questions shows only what's relevant, tailored to the firm's professional terminology and the correct tax year, and at the end it automatically sends to the client's email an organized summary of all the required documents — so the client returns everything in one reply email instead of dripping it out over weeks. The email goes out from the account of the employee the task is assigned to in Monday, in tailored language (masculine/feminine), and includes a fee line from the business board — so the client receives personal communication from the person handling them rather than from a generic system. Statuses update automatically in Monday (sent / started / not completed / completed), and the sending process is hardened to preserve operational and legal evidence with clear dates — a direct response to the lawsuit that already happened. We also added a management interface that lets the firm independently manage a separate questionnaire version for each tax year, and an annual-return submission tracking view in the existing dashboard.
