Relay for accountants and bookkeepers
Every season is the same: chasing documents, reminding clients of deadlines, and chasing the invoice afterwards. Relay runs those ladders for you so the conversations happen without you typing them.
Get started free See pricingWhat accountants and bookkeepers run on Relay
Count down to the deadline
Put the filing date on the client and a reminder ladder sends at 30, 14 and 3 days out, by email and text, and stops when they reply.
Chase the missing documents
A follow-up ladder for anyone who has not sent what you asked for — day three, day seven, day fourteen — with a reply landing on their thread.
Invoice and chase it politely
Send the invoice from Relay. Tag it overdue and the chase sends three reminders over three weeks, stopping when they reply.
Client intake without email ping-pong
A Relay form for new-client onboarding creates the contact, captures the details and starts the welcome sequence.
One inbox for the whole practice
Email, text and calls on one thread per client, shared across the team, with canned responses for the questions you answer every day.
Playbooks are turned on from Automations → Templates and every step is editable in plain language.

Questions accountants and bookkeepers ask
Is Relay accounting software?
No. Relay does not do books, tax or payroll. It is the client communication layer: reminders, document chasing, invoicing and follow-up around the work you do in your accounting tools.
Can we import our client list?
Yes, from a CSV export. Custom fields hold the dates that drive the reminder ladders.
Can a client pay an invoice online?
Relay sends the invoice with a public link the client can open, showing the amount due and how to pay you. It does not take card payment on that page today.
Will reminders stop once the client responds?
Yes. A reply from the client exits them from the ladder so nobody gets chased after they have already answered.
What does it cost?
The plans on this page are the same for every business, with a free plan to start on. No contract.
