Through the year

Three bookkeeping requests for the whole year

Onboarding gathers history, month-end the latest, and year-end packs it up for the accountant. Set each one up once.

  • New client onboarding

    Every account and card, opening balances and last year’s statements.

  • Month-end

    Statements, receipts, the payroll report and payments you need explained.

  • Year-end handover to the accountant

    Closing balances, asset purchases and the inventory count, in steps.

The client’s view

A request a busy owner can finish between customers

On the first of the month, the owner of Harbor Street Bakery gets this month’s list by email. They upload the card statement and photograph receipts on the same phone, with no account to create. Next month you copy the request and change the date. See how document collection software ties requests, reminders and tracking together.

    You see which client could hold up the close.

  4. Everything in

    Ready to reconcile

    The month’s files and answers sit together, and reminders stop.

Tracking every client

One dashboard shows each client’s monthly request, how far they have got and which are overdue. Start the day with the complete ones.

Privacy and access

Bank statements, kept in private storage

Each month’s statements are filed privately with the month they belong to.

  • A personal link for each request. Clients upload and answer without an account.

  • Private file storage. Uploads are kept in private storage with controlled access.

  • Reviewed from your account. Sign in to Lead Source to see and open every file.

  • Kept with the request. Statements, IDs and photos stay together with the request they answer.

Common questions

Questions bookkeepers ask

Can I send the same request to a client every month?

Yes. Save the request as a template, then send a fresh copy each month with the new month and due date.

Can clients upload photos of paper receipts?

Yes. Phone photos and PDFs both work. Progress is saved, so a shoebox of receipts can go in a few at a time.

Does Lead Source connect to bank feeds or read receipts?

No. It collects files and answers. Matching and coding stay in your accounting software.

Can I use it as a bookkeeping client intake form?

Yes. Build a multi-step request for business details, accounts and opening balances, then reuse it for each new client.
