It’s the 10th. Some clients have sent everything, some have sent half, and some have gone quiet. Verisa keeps one checklist per client, shows you who’s behind, and writes each reminder from what’s actually missing.

The red signal shows how many days late a client is. Open a strip, tick things off, or move the date and watch the month play out. Ashdown Books and its clients are made up, and your changes stay in this browser.
One bookkeeper, ten clients, fifty-five documents. The last column is what’s still to come after each entry.

Close the month Fenwick never found the supplier bills or fuel receipts. They carry into next month with a note, so nobody has to remember them.
“Please send your paperwork” leaves the client to work out what you mean. A list of the two things still missing can be answered in a minute.
Tick something off and the letter changes. This is Harbour Lane Dental from the tray above.
Still waiting on 2 items for October
Hi Priya,
A quick follow-up to my note on Saturday 7 November. I'm still missing:
- Payroll summary
- Supplier bills
I can't finish October until these arrive, so please send them by Thursday 12 November. If something is holding this up, reply and tell me what it is.
Thanks,
Nell

Your client never sees the board. They get one short list of what’s missing, and a way to say “I don’t have that one this month”, which saves you chasing something that doesn’t exist.
