Why teams standardize onboarding
Reduce risk and delays by making accounting onboarding systematic and transparent.

FAQ
- What should accounting firms include in client onboarding?
- Cover goals and success metrics, timelines, file and access needs, approval chains, and legal or usage constraints. Fentyr helps you turn that into a repeatable portal-driven flow so clients complete steps in order.
- How is Fentyr different from email and shared folders for accounting firms?
- The most common gap is that entity and tax context is incomplete at engagement kickoff Fentyr replaces that with one branded link—structured steps, uploads, and context in one place, so nothing hides in an inbox.
- Can I start with a template and customize per client?
- Yes. Start from the flow above—template onboarding for entities, systems, and compliance milestones—then tweak it per engagement while keeping a consistent, branded experience.
