Later in the month: you answer our questions on open items and confirm payroll and stock figures.
Second Feature
Month end: you receive management figures with notes, and a short list of what is coming up.

Latest Feature
A timeline is a graphical representation on which important events are marked.

[Say how clients send documents: email, messaging app, shared folder or portal.]
Whatever the channel, we confirm what we received so that nothing is lost between us.
