About DocChase

DocChase is built for accountants and bookkeepers who spend time chasing clients for bank statements, receipts and forms. You send a request listing the documents you need, and the service follows up automatically by email and SMS until each item is received.

Clients upload through a link that needs no login, and the practice sees a dashboard showing every engagement with a count of documents received, which are overdue, waiting or complete, and exactly what is missing. The aim is to replace manual spreadsheets and repeated reminder emails, particularly around busy periods such as tax season.

DocChase is a hosted commercial service priced from $29 a month with a 14-day money-back guarantee, and there is a live demo on the site. It suits small and mid-sized accounting practices.
