Docsroom

Solutions / Bookkeepers

The month does not close until the last receipt arrives.

One pack for each business you do the books for, out on the first. Docsroom asks once, chases for you while you work on somebody else’s, and hands you the month as one folder when it is done.

How it works

The same list, every month

One pack a month

Start the month from the included template: statements, invoices, remittances and the payroll journal. Set the pack to repeat and next month’s is waiting as a draft on the first.

Receipts by phone

The people you do the books for scan a QR code and photograph the receipt. It lands on the right request with the date and their name. No app, no email, no WhatsApp.

Questions with answers

“What was the £340 to Screwfix?” is a request with a status, not an email you have to find again. The answer stays with the question for good.

The pictures are illustrations. The names are made up.

Ask about a transaction where the transaction is

A query is a request of its own, with the amount and the date in it. The person you asked answers on their phone, attaches the receipt if there is one, and the answer sits under the question rather than three replies deep in a thread nobody kept.

  • One thread per query, kept with its month
  • Internal notes the business cannot see
  • Next year, last year’s answer is still there

Accept and complete

Month end as one download

When the pack is complete, download only the files that are new since last month. They arrive in a folder per request, named so nothing overwrites anything, and the download itself goes on the record. The reminders stop on their own, and the folder drops in beside whatever bookkeeping software you already use.

What this is not

Docsroom collects the receipts, the statements and the answers, and hands them over as one folder. It does not post anything to Xero, QuickBooks or VT, it does not code a transaction, and it does not do the bookkeeping. It closes the gap before the bookkeeping starts, which is where the month usually goes.

Start with next month’s pack.
