For solo and small bookkeeping firms
Replace the month-end document chase. Know what is actually ready.
PortalLess replaces the email thread and shared-drive tracker used to chase statements. Your firm requests each item, reviews what arrives, and moves into close work only after every requirement is accepted.
- Clients do not create accounts
- Replacement requests reopen the same slot
- Receipt never equals acceptance

Ready to close requires all 3 required items to be accepted or marked not applicable.
Secure uploads and audit events stay in the existing PortalLess foundation. The new workflow changes the decisions around them.
One desk, four decisions
See who is waiting—and what can move today.
PortalLess separates client waiting, staff review, corrections, and genuinely close-ready work. Counts are operational—no vanity dashboard layer.

The decision layer
A received file can still block the close.
PortalLess keeps the request open until the bookkeeper accepts the item or records exactly why a replacement is needed.
Receipt never equals acceptance. Readiness is computed from the review decision, not the upload count.

The client lane
No account. No guessing which file to replace.
Clients verify by email code, see only outstanding items, and upload a correction in the same checklist slot. Accepted items stay quiet.

Hi Lena, we still need one replacement before we can finish reviewing July.
Operating account statement
A replacement is needed: upload the complete July statement containing all pages and the ending balance.
First three founding firms
$200
One named close month.
Up to 5 clients.
No more than 45 days.
Prove the workflow before adding another recurring tool.
This is a guided implementation, not paid access to an empty trial. We configure one close period, help your firm run the request and review workflow, and end with evidence about what worked and what remained blocked.
- Client request setup
- Review and replacement workflow
- Close-readiness report
A no-cost sanitized walkthrough comes first. The paid live pilot begins only after the firm-scoped technical gate passes; formal penetration testing and attorney review remain general-availability milestones. Continuing afterward is optional at $59 / month; the pilot never auto-renews.
No account or payment is required to apply.
