Why it matters

Client files should not live in inboxes.

When documents, messages and requests are scattered across email threads, shared drives and disconnected tools, it becomes harder to know what has been received, what is still outstanding and what has already been approved.

Engager gives your firm a secure client portal and file management workflow that keeps important information organised, linked to the right client and easier for your team to manage.

Share sensitive files securely

Move away from email attachments and give clients a safer way to upload, download and review documents.

Gather information in bulk

Use forms to gather information from your entire client base seamlessly. Perfect for self-assessment season.

Keep an audit trail

Maintain clearer records of document activity, messages, requests and approvals across the client relationship.

Improve the client experience

Give clients a simple branded portal and mobile app instead of asking them to search through old emails.

Secure document sharing and client communication

What you can do with Engager’s client portal.

Case study

'We wanted all clients on the same process. Engager is built for exactly that.'

As AB Accountancy expanded, the firm found it increasingly difficult to manage multiple client relationships while keeping internal processes consistent and visible. And it was struggling with its accountancy software after being moved by IRIS from TaxFiler to IRIS Elements. Adrian Bryan, Founder, says: “For me, the hardest thing about running a firm is managing so many client relationships. We wanted all clients on the same process, and Engager is built for exactly that.”
