Workflow software for accountants that knows what is due

Every job in FigsFlow has an owner, a reviewer, a target date and a named stage. Recurring work creates itself, deadlines surface before they bite, and the whole firm reads the same board.

The problem

Deadlines are fixed. Visibility usually is not.

When jobs live in a spreadsheet and a few inboxes, the first sign of trouble is a client asking where their work is. By then the date is close.

How it works

From signed letter to signed off

The same four steps run on every job, every period, without anyone setting them up again.

  1. Create

    Jobs are created from the agreed services when the letter is signed, with owners and target dates.

  2. Work

    Tasks and checklists guide the preparer. Time is recorded against the job as it goes.

  3. Review

    Submit for review in one click. The reviewer sees exactly what changed and signs off.

  4. Repeat

    On completion, the next period’s job is created automatically for recurring work.

What you get

Job management for accounting firms

The workflow concepts your team uses every day, built in rather than bolted on.

01

Kanban and list views

See work by stage, by person or by date. Switch views without losing filters.

02

Recurring jobs

Monthly, quarterly and annual work is created on schedule, with the right template.

03

Deadline radar

Every target date in one view, sorted by risk, so nothing surprises a partner.

04

Review and sign-off

A named review stage with the reviewer’s decision recorded on the job.

05

Blocked by client

Mark a job as waiting on records. The client sees what is needed in their portal.

06

Bulk actions

Reassign, reschedule or move dozens of jobs at once, with saved filters.

One job, every detail

Everything about a job on one screen

Owner, reviewer, target date, the client’s outstanding records, time recorded and the fee agreed. Nobody needs to ask where a job is up to.

When the client uploads what was missing, the job moves out of blocked and the preparer is told.

Where it sits

The engine room of the lifecycle

Jobs are created by the signed letter, fed by the client portal and closed by billing. One record carries through.

FAQ

Questions firms ask us.

How does recurring work get created?

When a recurring job is completed, FigsFlow creates the next period’s job from the same template, with the owner and target date already set.

Can we change the stages a job goes through?

Yes. Stages, their names and their order are set by your firm. Most firms keep a review stage before anything is released to a client.

Can we bring our existing jobs across?

Yes. Import open jobs from a spreadsheet export and FigsFlow shows a preview before anything is committed.

Does FigsFlow know the deadlines in my country?

Your firm sets target dates. Where country deadline sets are available, they can be added on top. Check the availability page for your country.
