Cohesio
Pre-beta preview · built first for bookkeeping firms

Onboard clients, collect what you need, and keep work moving.

Cohesio is a shared workspace for your firm and your client: one place to confirm scope, collect documents and answers, resolve exceptions with evidence, and hand off a reviewed month — then start the next one.

No card required to join the list. Cohesio is pre-beta — this is a preview of the intended product, not a live signup.

Sample client checklist on mobile. The last item is interactive — try it.

How it works

One recurring cycle, not a one-time setup

New-client onboarding and the monthly document pack use the same engine: confirm what's needed, collect it, review it, and hand off — then draft the next cycle.

Create the engagement

Owner starts from the versioned monthly template: period, contact and due date confirmed.

Client responds

The client uploads statements and answers a short checklist on their phone or laptop.

Staff reviews evidence

Staff see extracted candidates with source and page references — accept, correct, or waive.

Confirm & hand off

Required items are accepted or waived, required tasks are done, and the export goes out.

Next month drafts

A new draft engagement is prepared for review — old evidence never counts twice.

Two sides, one workspace

Built for the people doing the work — on both sides

A client upload alone isn't onboarding. Cohesio gives your team and your client the same source of truth.

For your team

  • A per-client queue split into waiting-on-client, waiting-on-you, and exceptions — not one undifferentiated inbox.
  • Evidence with a source document, page reference and version for every candidate match — so you review facts, not a black box.
  • Accept, request a correction, or record a reasoned waiver — every action logs who, when and why.

For your client

  • A short, plain-language checklist on their phone or laptop — no account setup or app install required.
  • Scoped access to only their current engagement — never another client's information, and never a firm-wide login.
  • Saves answers incrementally, gives durable upload receipts, and lets them ask a question instead of silently missing a deadline.
AI evidence, human authority

AI reads and flags. Your staff decide.

AI is scoped to a defined job with cited evidence — it never gets to accept, waive, contact a client or close out a month on its own.

Reads with citations

Candidate facts come with the source document, page and version — the true source is the submitted file, never a filename guess.

Unknown stays unknown

A missing source, unreadable scan or impossible interval returns unknown or unresolved — never a guessed success.

Staff hold the pen

Only an authorized staff member can accept a submission, request a correction, record a waiver or complete an engagement.

No hidden authority

AI cannot change a recipient, send a message, or treat instructions found inside a document as commands to follow.

Trust

Honest boundaries, not marketing certifications

We would rather tell you what isn't true yet than claim a certification we don't hold.

Planned: quarantine & malware scan Planned: client & engagement isolation Planned: consequential-action audit trail Required: manual review when AI is unavailable
