Missing items
3
Every request item keeps its own status, even when clients reply in pieces.
When clients only send back part of the list
Many bookkeeping firms already collect documents by email.
That works until every client replies differently: one sends bank statements, another forgets payroll reports, another answers only half the questions, and your team has to figure out what is still missing from scattered email threads.
DocsNudge gives each client one clear monthly request sheet, so your firm can track what was requested, what was submitted, what needs review, and what is still missing.
Email can collect files. It does not track the request list.
Built around the monthly document chase
DocsNudge is designed for the recurring monthly workflow that happens before the books can be completed.
Use it to request:
Each item has its own status, so your team does not have to rebuild the missing list from email replies.
How DocsNudge works
A focused workflow for the monthly request list, partial replies, review, and follow-up.
Create a monthly request sheet
Create one request sheet for each client and month. Add the files, explanations, and confirmations you need.
Send a secure client link
Clients open the link and submit documents or answers without creating an account.
Track what is still missing
See which items are pending, submitted, overdue, returned, or completed.
Review and return if needed
If a client uploads the wrong file or gives an incomplete answer, return that item with a clear reason.
Keep one source of truth
Instead of asking your team to search through email threads, everyone can see the current monthly status in one place.
Not every firm needs another full client portal
If your firm already has a secure portal that clients actually use, you may not need DocsNudge.
DocsNudge is for small bookkeeping firms that want a lighter way to manage monthly document requests, especially when the current process still depends on email, spreadsheets, shared folders, or repeated reminders.
It is not a replacement for QuickBooks, Xero, tax software, or a full practice management suite.
It focuses on one workflow: monthly client document collection.
For solo bookkeepers and small firms
DocsNudge is built for solo bookkeepers and small bookkeeping teams that need a simple way to collect monthly client documents without adding a heavy portal.

Frequently asked questions
Do clients need to create an account?
No. Clients can open a secure link and submit files, explanations, or confirmations without creating an account.
Does DocsNudge replace QuickBooks or Xero?
No. DocsNudge works alongside QuickBooks and Xero. It helps collect the documents and explanations you need before completing the books.
What if my clients currently email documents?
That is exactly where DocsNudge can help. Email can still be part of your workflow, but DocsNudge gives your firm a clearer request list and missing-item tracker.
What if my firm already uses a secure portal?
If your current portal works well and clients use it consistently, you may not need DocsNudge. DocsNudge is designed for firms that want a lighter monthly document request workflow.
What types of documents can I request?
You can request bank statements, credit card statements, payroll reports, receipts, invoices, sales reports, loan statements, explanations, confirmations, and other supporting documents.
Can I track which client documents are still missing?
Yes. Each request item has a status, so your team can see what is pending, submitted, overdue, returned, or completed.
