01

Hit every deadline

Repeating jobs auto-create on the right cadence. Tax due dates, monthly closes, payroll runs. Nothing falls off.

02

Standardise the work

Build a tax-return template once. Bulk-deploy it to every client in seconds. Subtasks, owners, due-date offsets baked in.

03

See the firm at a glance

Partners get status, owners, and capacity in one live view. No more "hey, where are we on the Smith return?"

Tax season

240 returns due in 12 weeks. One template. One afternoon to set up.

Build your tax-return workflow once (Awaiting info, In prep, Senior review, Partner sign-off, Filed), then bulk-deploy it to every client tagged "Tax". Tidyflow creates the jobs, sets due dates, assigns owners, and starts the clock. You spend the rest of the season clearing the queue, not building it.

  • Bulk-deploy to all clients with a single tag
  • Subtasks for every step, with per-subtask owners
  • Due-date offsets so each job dates itself correctly
  • Filter the job list by partner, status, or client

Monthly close

Same checklist. Every client. Every month. Without a single reminder.

Set monthly bookkeeping to repeat on the 1st and Tidyflow creates the next month's job the moment this month's is closed out. Bank rec, transaction review, payroll review, management report. Each subtask owned, each step tracked, each client visible.

  • Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual, or custom cadence
  • Owners and due dates carry forward automatically
  • Bookmark "This month's close" as a one-click filter

Client requests

Stop chasing for documents. Let Tidyflow chase for you.

Send a request from inside the job, set the reminder cadence, and walk away. Clients upload via a secure link. No login, no email back-and-forth. When the file lands, the job moves forward on its own.

  • Secure upload links, no client account needed
  • Auto-reminders on the schedule you choose
  • Files land directly in the job, not a shared inbox

Automations

Set the rules. Let Tidyflow do the housekeeping.

Build When-Then automations for the routine moves. When a due date passes, change the status. When a date's approaching, add a tag. When a VIP tag gets attached, assign the partner. Optional "Only If" conditions keep each rule precise. Quick templates get you going fast.

  • Triggers when a date passes, approaches, or a tag is added
  • Date triggers on start, due, internal due, or extended due
  • Actions to set status, add or remove tags, or assign a user
  • Optional "Only If" conditions per rule

Capacity

Know who has bandwidth before you commit a deadline.

See team capacity by week and by job type. Spot the bottleneck three weeks out and reassign before it becomes a fire. Drill into any team member to see exactly what's on their plate.

  • Forward and backward capacity views
  • Per-team-member drill-down
  • Plan with estimated hours, not gut feel

Every detail in one place. Every step assignable.

A job in Tidyflow is more than a row in a list. Owners, due dates, files, comments, status, and subtasks all live together. Open it, work it, close it.

One screen for the whole job

Client, owners, due date, files, status, and activity. No clicking through tabs to find what's going on.

Tidyflow job subtasks, each with their own owner and due date

Break the work down

Subtasks with owners, due dates, dependencies, and custom statuses. Set the order, set the gates, and each step hands off automatically when it's ready.

From spreadsheet sprawl to a clean queue in four steps.

  1. 1

    Build (or import) a template

    Start from a tax, bookkeeping, or onboarding starter. Or build your own with subtasks, owners, and due-date offsets.

  2. 2

    Bulk-deploy to clients

    Select clients by tag and Tidyflow creates the jobs in seconds. Each job dates itself correctly.

  3. 3

    Track in the job list

    Filter by owner, status, or client. Bookmark filters as one-click views.

  4. 4

    Auto-repeat next cycle

    The next instance creates itself when this one closes. Daily, monthly, annually, or on your schedule.

What changes when your workflow runs itself.
