Managing jobs and deadlines

Jobs are the core work units in Accupe. Each job represents a piece of work for a specific client.

Creating a job

  1. Go to Jobs in the sidebar.
  2. Click New Job.
  3. Fill in:
  • Client (select from your client list)
  • Job type (e.g. Annual Accounts, Tax Return, Bookkeeping)
  • Workflow (select a template or start blank)
  • Deadline (the final due date)
  • Assigned to (the responsible team member)
  1. Click Create.

Job statuses

Jobs progress through their workflow stages. The overall status updates automatically:

  • Not Started means no work has begun.
  • In Progress means at least one stage has been started.
  • Awaiting Review means the work is complete and needs checking.
  • Complete means the job is finished and filed.

Deadline management

The dashboard prominently displays upcoming deadlines. Jobs with deadlines in the next 7 days are highlighted in amber; overdue jobs appear in red.

Bulk actions

Select multiple jobs from the list view to:

  • Reassign to a different team member
  • Change the deadline
  • Update the status
  • Export to CSV
HMRC integration: For tax-related jobs, Accupe can pull key dates directly from HMRC so you never miss a filing deadline.
