The five workflows every industry shares
The same five run in all 27 industries. What changes for accounting is the overlay: the records, the stages and the words. How it works.
The Accounting overlay: Clients, Engagements, Prospects, Filings, Engagements. Stages: Inquiry → Discovery Meeting → Proposal Sent → Engagement Letter Signed → Documents Collected → Filing Complete.
Intake and triage
Every call, text, email and form becomes a prospect on the client's record, with who, why and the next step. A fixed ladder of rules sorts it before any model is asked.
Touches: Opens the engagement at Inquiry.
Follow-up
Moves each engagement forward and writes down why each move happened. Chases the engagements that have gone quiet, and stops when a person says stop.
Touches: Inquiry to Filing Complete, one stage at a time.
Scheduling
Books the visit, call or appointment on the calendar and on the engagement, sends the confirmation and the reminder, and reschedules when the client asks.
Touches: The calendar and the engagement.
Quoting
Prepares the quote from your price book or template, sends it once a person approves it, and follows up until it is answered.
Touches: Prospects and the engagement.
Reporting
Each day, what each agent did and what it proposed, built from the log of every action it took. Nothing is reported that was not recorded.
Touches: The record, read back to you.
