You're Already Doing This Work

Every firm tracks engagement completeness somehow—spreadsheets, project management tools, quality teams manually checking files. The work gets done, but at what cost?

Hours of Manual Checking

Staff spend hours each week reviewing engagement files, cross-referencing checklists, and tracking down who needs to sign what.

Endless Reminders

Quality teams send reminder after reminder. Emails get buried. Slack messages get missed. The same people fall behind every cycle.

Last-Minute Scrambles

Despite best efforts, issues surface at partner review. Deadlines slip while teams scramble to complete sign-offs and find missing docs.

The rules are already defined. Your firm knows what needs to happen before an engagement closes. The problem isn't the rules—it's the manual effort required to enforce them.

Automate What You're Already Doing

Same rules, same expectations—just without the manual effort.
