Building Self-Serve Client Portals for Accountancy, Legal, Property & Financial Firms
Chasing clients over email for ID documents, signed agreements, and fact-finds wastes hundreds of fee-earner hours. A bespoke client portal turns onboarding into a guided, mobile-friendly experience.
Why Email Threads Are Terrible for Client Onboarding
In estate agency, mortgage broking, accountancy, and legal services, onboarding a new client requires collecting sensitive documents, completing multi-step questionnaires, and tracking progress across multiple stakeholders.
Doing this over email attachments leads to missing pages, confused clients, and staff spending half their week sending 'just chasing this up' messages.
A Branded Digital Portal Your Clients Actually Love Using
We build clean, mobile-first client onboarding portals tailored to regulated and professional service firms:
- Step-by-Step Progress Trackers: Clients see a clear percentage bar showing exactly what they have completed and what document is needed next.
- Mobile Camera Document Upload: Clients snap and upload ID, proof of address, or bank statements directly from their phone in seconds.
- Automated WhatsApp & Email Nudges: Polite, automated reminders go out when a client stalls on a step, freeing your fee-earners to focus on high-value work.
