Tasks module

Task Management Software for UK Accountants

Every deadline, owner, checklist and hour in one workspace. Explore the twelve ways practices run compliance work in Remindoo.

Remindoo is practice management software for accountancy firms. Its task management module turns client compliance work into tasks with an internal and a statutory deadline, named owners, recurring schedules, subtasks with checklists and a timer, so a practice can see every job in one workload.

Task management software built for accounting practices

Generic to-do apps were not designed around filing calendars, client records or chargeable time. Remindoo's task module is: every job is raised against a client and a service, carries an internal deadline and a statutory deadline, and collects the hours spent on it as the work happens.

That gives accountants, bookkeepers and tax professionals one honest picture of the firm's workload — what is due this week, who owns it, what is genuinely overdue, what is waiting on a client, and how long each type of job really takes. Recurring cycles rebuild themselves, checklists keep quality consistent, and bulk actions keep the list clean enough that people trust it.

A UK practice year runs on dates nobody controls: Self Assessment returns due online by 31 January, VAT returns under Making Tax Digital, payroll reported to HMRC under RTI, year-end accounts and Companies House filings, and a confirmation statement for every limited company. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax then adds volume, becoming mandatory from 6 April 2026 for qualifying income over £50,000 and from April 2027 for income over £30,000.

Problems it solves

  • Deadlines tracked in spreadsheets that nobody updates
  • No clear owner for a job until a client chases
  • Overdue lists full of work that is actually waiting on records
  • Chargeable time reconstructed at the end of the month
  • Every accountant following a slightly different process

How Remindoo runs a compliance deadline end to end

  1. Step 1

    Create the task

    Raise the job against the client and service with both deadlines.

  2. Step 2

    Make it recurring

    Set the cycle once so every period is created for you.

  3. Step 3

    Assign the owner

    Give it to a person, several people or a whole team.

  4. Step 4

    Break it into subtasks

    Add stages with deadlines, estimates and tick-off steps.

  5. Step 5

    Track the time

    Run the timer on the task or subtask as the work happens.

  6. Step 6

    Filter the list

    Combine conditions to see what is due and who has it.

  7. Step 7

    Snooze or archive

    Park blocked work and archive what is finished.

Frequently asked questions

What is task management software for accountants?

It is software that tracks client compliance work as tasks rather than as rows in a spreadsheet. Each job carries the client, the service, an internal deadline, a statutory deadline and a named owner, so a practice can see what is due, who has it and what is genuinely overdue.

How is it different from a general to-do app?

General to-do apps were not built around filing calendars, client records or chargeable time. Remindoo links every task to a client and a service, tracks two deadlines, repeats compliance cycles automatically and records time against the job, which a generic list cannot do.

Can Remindoo handle recurring compliance work?

Yes. Any task can be made recurring. You set the start date, choose how often it repeats and end it after a certain number of tasks, on a certain date, or never. Each period is created with the same client, service, owners and subtasks.

How do we see who is working on what?

Assign each task to an individual, several people, one team or several teams, then filter the task list by Assignees to see that person's workload. Because ownership is captured on the task, workload reporting is a by-product of doing the work.

Can we track time against client jobs?

Yes. Start a timer on any task or subtask and it keeps running in a floating Task Timer as you move around the task list. Stop it to save the time against the job, so chargeable work is captured as it happens.

What happens to work that is waiting on a client?

Snooze it to a future date. The task leaves the active list, sits under the Snooze filter and returns on the date you chose. That keeps the overdue count reserved for work that is genuinely late rather than blocked.

Is completed work deleted?

No. Finished tasks are archived, either individually or in bulk. Archived work moves out of the active list into the Archived filter and can be restored at any time, so the record survives while the live list stays clean.

How long does it take to set up?

Most practices start by creating their recurring compliance cycles and assigning owners, which can be done in a sitting. The 60-day free trial is designed for exactly that: load your clients, set the tasks running and see the workload before you commit.
