Client portal & requests · For accounting firms

A portal clients actually use.

Send a request, set a reminder cadence, walk away. Clients upload via a secure link with no login required. Files land in the right folder. Tidyflow chases them when they don't.

No-login uploads Automated reminders Branded login URL
01

Stop chasing for documents

Send a request, set the reminder cadence, walk away. Tidyflow nudges the client until the file lands.

02

Send a link, not an email

No-login upload links mean clients drop files in seconds. No password reset. No abandoned signup.

03

Give clients self-serve access

Clients see their documents, sign engagement letters, pay invoices, and respond to requests in one branded portal.

Client requests

Send a request. Tidyflow chases for you.

Inside the job, build a structured checklist of files to upload and questions to answer, then send it to the client. Tidyflow handles the reminders automatically.

  • Structured checklist items: files to upload or questions to answer
  • Automated email reminders on outstanding items
  • Status tracking on every request
  • Files land in the right job, not a shared inbox
Tax organizers

A full tax organizer, not a PDF questionnaire.

Build request forms with sections and conditional questions, so clients only see what applies to them. Answers save as they go, and last year's answers are one tap away.

  • Multiple choice, date, and number answers, with show/hide logic between questions
  • Last year's answer shown next to each question for one-tap reuse
  • Review & submit with a typed sign-off, then PDF export
  • Ready-made 1040 organizer template included

Document approvals

Sign-off that doesn't live in an email thread.

Attach a draft return or financial statement to a request and ask the client to approve it. They review the document in the portal, then approve it or request changes with a comment.

  • Approve or request changes, with the client's comment on the request
  • Clients open the document before they can approve it
  • Who approved, and when, recorded on the file

Billing

Invoices live where your clients already are.

Clients with billing access see their invoices in the portal, with what's outstanding and a Pay now button on anything due. One login for requests, documents, and billing.

  • Pay now by card or ACH bank transfer
  • Billing history with totals and outstanding amounts
  • Saved payment methods managed in the same place

No-login uploads

Your client doesn't need an account.

Send a secure upload link, your client drops files in, done. No password, no portal tour, no abandoned signup.

  • A firm-wide link for ad-hoc uploads, or a per-client link that routes to the right folder
  • Drag-and-drop with optional comment
  • Audit-trailed: who uploaded, when, from where

Document access

Clients access their documents in one branded place.

Clients see the folders you've shared with them, sign engagement letters, respond to requests, and download what they need. No more "can you resend last year's statements?" emails.

  • Per-folder client access
  • Multiple contacts, one login each
  • Audit trail on every download

Portal and request questions firms ask us most.

Contacts access the portal via portal.tidyflow.com. They get a single login that works across every client they're linked to.

Yes. Multiple contacts can be linked to a single client, so different individuals at the same business can access the right files and respond to the right requests.

Yes. Every contact gets their own portal login, so a married couple filing jointly, two business partners, or a client and their bookkeeper never have to share a password. Add both to the same request and they work on one shared copy rather than getting one each: either person can answer a question or upload a document, and each sees what the other has already done. One job, one set of answers on your side.

Yes. Contacts don't have to wait for a request. They can sign in and upload straight away, which is what usually happens when a notice arrives in the post that nobody was expecting. The file lands in a Client Uploads folder on that client, so client submissions never land in the middle of your own working papers.

Yes, as long as you follow the client. Following a client tells Tidyflow to notify you whenever one of that client's contacts uploads a file, whether it came through a request, a shared folder, or the client's upload link. The notification names the person, the file, and the client, so you never have to open folders to check whether anything arrived. Files your own team uploads don't trigger notifications.

Yes. Each client gets a secure upload link. Clients drag and drop files, add their email, and submit. No account required, files land directly in the right client folder.

Tidyflow sends automatic email reminders for outstanding client requests on the cadence you set. Clients get a polite nudge so you don't have to.

Tidyflow is hosted on AWS and DigitalOcean infrastructure in U.S. data centres. Both providers are independently audited and maintain SOC 2 reports. Tidyflow adds encrypted backups, multi-factor authentication, and role-based permissions on top. Read the security page for the full detail.

Yes. Add your logo and use a branded login URL so clients see your firm, not Tidyflow.

Yes. Request forms support sections, conditional show/hide questions, and multiple choice, date, and number answers. Clients see last year's answer next to each question for one-tap reuse, review everything, and sign off before submitting. A ready-made 1040 organizer template is included, and submitted organizers export to PDF. More on tax organizers →

Yes. Contacts with billing access see their invoices in the portal, with outstanding amounts and a Pay now button. Clients pay by card or ACH bank transfer when online payments are enabled.
