Client Onboarding Tracker

Bring a new client on in gated steps, with one that waits for a person. The scramble of onboarding a new client: engagement letter, read-only access, prior-year files, kickoff, and first reconciliation, advanced step by step, where granting access never completes on its own and is held for a person.

Try it: advance each onboarding step. The read-only access step will not complete on its own. It is held for a person to approve.

Synthetic sample data. The firm, the new client, and every detail are invented.

The instrument. Try it.
