Working Papers · Client Dashboard

The whole job, on one screen.

One client, one year, every lead schedule in a single list. What is done, what is in progress, what has not been touched. Two live charts tell you where the job stands and what is still outstanding, and every row is a door straight into the working paper.

Demo Company · 01 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 · 12 lead schedules

01 Every lead schedule, in one place

The list is the job.

Twelve lead schedules for this client, from Tangible Assets to Interest receivable. Each carries its status, its schedule reference, the actions attached to it, and who reviewed it. No hunting through folders. The whole file is the list you are looking at.

  • Standard statutory references: 118 Tangible Assets, 122 Debtors, 1221 Turnover, 1339 Administrative expenses and the rest.
  • Sort by Schedule Ref. or Lead Schedules. Click a header and the whole list reorders.
  • Every row shows its actions (query, review point, note, attachment) and the reviewer.

click any row to open what is attached to it.

02 Real-time status

Change a status, watch the chart move.

Every lead schedule is Not Started, In Progress, or Completed. The Task Report donut on the right is not a picture you update later. It is the live sum of the twelve rows. Mark one complete and the percentages recompute in front of you.

  • Three states, one dot per row. The donut is always the current truth of the job.
  • Ten not started, one in progress, one complete reads as 83.3% / 8.33% / 8.33%. One twelfth is 8.33%.
  • Move to a half-done job and it reads 50.0% / 50.0%. The maths is just the rows.

no separate status report to keep in sync. this is it.

03 Detailed task information

Every row is a door.

A lead schedule is never just a status. Behind each one sit its queries, its review points, its notes and its attachments. From the dashboard you open the row and go straight to them. No navigating away to three other screens to find what a line is waiting on.

  • Queries, review points, notes and attachments, all attached to the schedule.
  • Open Debtors and see exactly what is unresolved on it before you touch the file.
  • Navigate directly from the dashboard into the working paper itself.

the dashboard is not a summary of the job. it is the way in.

04 Outstanding queries and review points

What is still open, at a glance.

Two more donuts sit under the task report: one for queries, one for review points, each split into resolved and unresolved. It is the answer to the only question a partner really asks before signing: what is still outstanding on this job?

  • Separate charts for Queries and Review Points, each Resolved versus Unresolved.
  • A 50 / 50 split says half are still open. The colour tells you before the number does.
  • Clear the last unresolved item and the ring goes whole. That is the job ready to review.

05 Find the line that matters

Sort it the way the question is asked.

A partner asks "what is not done yet?". A junior asks "where is Turnover?". The same list answers both. Sort by reference, sort by name, filter to one status. The dashboard reshapes to the question rather than making you read every row.

  • Sort ascending or descending on Schedule Ref. or Lead Schedule name.
  • Filter to Not Started and the list becomes the to-do list for the job.
  • Filter and the count updates, so you always know how many are left.

06 One client, one year

Always clear whose job this is.

The dashboard is pinned to a client and a period. Demo Company, year ended 31 March 2025. There is never a doubt about which file you are in or which year you are signing off. Change the client, and the whole board, every schedule and both charts, moves with it.

  • The client and year sit at the top of every screen. No guessing which file is open.
  • The twelve schedules, the statuses, the charts: all scoped to this client and year.
  • It rolls up into the Firm Dashboard, where every client's job sits side by side.

Why it matters

The status is never stale.

A dashboard you update by hand is out of date the moment you close it. Here the charts are computed from the rows themselves, so the picture is always the job as it actually stands, not as someone remembered to record it.

The quiet one

Two donuts, one question.

Task Report says how far along the work is. Queries and Review Points say what is still open. Together they answer the only thing a partner needs before signing: is this job actually finished, or does it just look finished.

The bit people miss

Every row is the way in.

The dashboard is not a read-only summary. Click a lead schedule and you are inside its queries, notes and attachments. It is the cover of the file and the doorway into every page of it at the same time.

The questions accountants actually ask

Straight answers.

YouWhat is the Client Dashboard, in one line?
PapercareOne screen for one client's year that lists every lead schedule with its status, and shows two live charts: how far along the job is, and what queries and review points are still outstanding.
YouAre the charts live or do I update them?
PapercareLive. The Task Report donut is computed from the status of the twelve lead schedules. Change a status and the percentages recompute immediately. There is nothing separate to keep in sync.
YouCan I get from the dashboard into the actual working paper?
PapercareYes. Each lead schedule carries its queries, review points, notes and attachments, and you open them straight from the row. The dashboard is the way into the file, not just a summary of it.
YouHow do I see only what is left to do?
PapercareFilter the list to Not Started, or sort by status. The list becomes the to-do list for the job, and the count tells you how many schedules are still outstanding.
YouWhat do the Queries and Review Points charts show?
PapercareEach is a donut split into resolved and unresolved. It is the fastest answer to whether a job is genuinely finished or just looks finished, because it shows exactly what is still open before anyone signs.
YouIs the dashboard tied to one client and year?
PapercareYes. It is pinned to a client and a period, shown at the top of every screen, so there is never doubt about which file or year you are in. It rolls up into the Firm Dashboard across all clients.
