The chase

Where accounting onboarding actually stalls

  • Clients send half the documents, then go quiet for a week.
  • Getting QuickBooks or Xero accountant access is a back-and-forth.
  • You become the reminder system instead of doing the work.

FAQ

Accounting client onboarding, answered

Accounting client onboarding is how a firm collects what it needs to start the books: the engagement letter, financial statements, prior returns, receipts, and access to QuickBooks Online or Xero. AutoStack collects the documents and the software access through one link, and Otto sends the specific, automatic reminders, so you stop being the document-chaser.
