Where the practice started
A property management bookkeeping service in Naperville, Illinois: 14 staff, one locally managed operation.
- 01
The starting point
The property management bookkeeping service handled bookkeeping onboarding through a single email-only page. Each message started a fresh guessing game about what the sender actually needed.
- 02
What it was costing them
For bookkeeping onboarding, half of each response was spent assembling the basics. The actual answer waited on the sender replying to the follow-up.
What we built
The replacement form gathers accounting software, business type and last reconciled month before anything is sent. Notifications arrive in a consistent layout, flag the type of inquiry and spell out that the next step is a records-readiness call with the bookkeeping team.
