How it works

Add your logo, make a checklist and send your customer a link. They can send you what you need and find what you’ve shared.

  1. 1. Upload your logo

    Add your logo and we’ll match the colours for you.

  2. 2. Create a customer checklist

    Write down what you need. Customers work through the list, and you can see what’s still missing.

  3. 3. Share files and photos

    Add files and photos for customers to open or download when they need them.

  4. 4. Let AI check customer uploads

    Tell AI what to check. It points out possible problems, and you decide what to accept.

  5. 5. Connect Xero

    Customers can find their invoices, download copies and see what they owe without asking you.

Customers just open your link and sign in. No app to install and no changes to your website.

Let AI check the paperwork first

Ask AI to check whether a document is recent enough, has the details you need and is clear enough to read. You and your customer both see the result and the reason for it.

AI can make mistakes. It can't prove someone's identity or tell you whether a document is genuine. You still decide what to accept.

Try the example below. Nothing is uploaded or checked.

Before you sign up

What is a client portal?

It’s one place where customers send you paperwork and find what you’ve shared. They can fill in forms, upload files and sign agreements, all with your logo and colours. A checklist shows them what’s still needed.

What happens after the free trial?

If it works for you, subscribe. Solo is £25 + VAT a month. You don’t need a card to start and nothing is charged unless you subscribe. If you don’t, customer access pauses after 14 days.

Are AI document checks included in the free trial?

Yes. Optional checks are included: up to 50 a day per customer, and 10 a day per document or form question. Anything over that is saved for you to check yourself. The final decision is always yours.

What if I don’t carry on?

Customer access pauses after 14 days, but you can still sign in and your setup is kept. Subscribe whenever you’re ready to reopen the portal.

How long does it take to set up?

Your portal is live the moment you sign up. Add your logo, write one checklist and invite a customer. No developer, and no changes to your website.

Will my customers cope with a login?

Yes. They open your invite, set a password and use their phone browser. There’s no app to install. Paper documents can be posted with a cover sheet, and you mark them received.

Does it chase my customers for me?

Not automatically. You see what’s missing and how long it’s been waiting, so you can nudge the right customer. When you ask for another copy, the email includes your reason.

What can the AI check?

Document type, dates, visible details and whether it’s readable. You choose which requests get a check. It can’t confirm a document is genuine, check an external register or verify identity.

Does the AI decide for me?

No. It gives a first opinion with a short reason, which your customer sees too. It can be wrong. You look at the upload and decide whether to approve it or ask for another copy.

Can I use my own web address?

Yes, on an active paid Practice or Enterprise plan. Use something like portal.yourfirm.co.uk. During the trial your portal lives at yourname.portald.co.uk, which stays available as a backup.

Are my customers’ documents safe?

Customers only see their own portal. Files need a login and the right access, and there are no public file links. No online system is entirely risk-free, so our Trust page explains the safeguards.

Try it with one customer

Start with one customer and one checklist. Send them a link and see how it goes. No card needed, and nothing to pay unless you subscribe.
