What’s due, and what’s next.

Yeardesk keeps every client’s year-end and deadline in one calm list, sizes the work in hours or days, and suggests who does what, in what order.

  • Two-factor sign-in built in
  • Works with Microsoft 365 accounts
  • Owners decide who sees what

How it works

Three steps, then it runs itself every year.

Okafor Family TrustYE 5 Apr

01

Add clients and their year-ends

Deadlines are worked out from the year-end and client type. Don’t know the year-end yet? Add it later — the client waits in a “needs year-end” list so it can’t be forgotten.

Size the work and assign it

Rough is fine: three hours, half a day, a day and a half. People work at different speeds, so sizes stay deliberately loose — and you can change them any time.

Follow the suggested order

Yeardesk lines work up by deadline and priority across each person’s week, and flags anything that won’t finish in time while there’s still room to move it.

The annual loop

File it, and it rolls forward a year.

Mark a return complete and the client drops to the bottom of the list with next year’s due date already set. If nobody sized the work up front, Yeardesk asks how long it took — so next year’s estimate starts from reality, not a guess.

  • Due date moves on by a year
  • Next year’s work is created, pre-sized from this year
  • Full history kept on the client’s page

Features

A ticketing system that thinks in year-ends.

Due next, always on top

One list of every client, ordered by the next deadline. Overdue in coral, due soon in marigold — the rest stays quiet.

Board and list views

Move work from To do to Waiting on client to Review. Filter to just your own work in one click.

Sizes in hours or days

Pick a size or type “4h”. Change it whenever you learn more. Actual time is captured when the work is done.

Suggested order

A plan for each person, built from deadlines, priority and their working hours — with at-risk work flagged early.

Team workload

See who has room this week and who’s over. Unassigned work comes with a suggestion for who could take it.

Find anything, fast

Ctrl K jumps to any client or piece of work, and every change is kept in the activity history.

Security

Client data deserves a proper front door.

Workspaces are invite-only. Owners set the rules; Yeardesk enforces them on every sign-in.

Two-factor by default

Authenticator-app codes with one-time backup codes. Owners can require it for everyone.

Microsoft work accounts

Sign in with Microsoft 365. Your organisation’s own MFA and conditional access still apply.

Roles and permissions

Owners, Admins, Members and Viewers. Owners can appoint other owners and decide who invites.

A record of every change

Who changed a due date, who completed a return, and when — kept on every client and ticket.

Your desk and your pocket, in sync.

The web app is here today. The mobile app uses the same account and the same list, so a return marked done on the train is done on everyone’s screen.

Questions

Which deadlines does Yeardesk know about?

UK defaults out of the box — Self Assessment by 31 January after the tax year, company accounts nine months after the year-end — and every rule can be changed for your firm or for a single return.

What if we don’t know a client’s year-end yet?

Add the client anyway. They sit in a “needs year-end” list until you fill it in, then slot into the order automatically.

How precise do estimates need to be?

Not very. Hours for small jobs, half-days for bigger ones. If you skip the estimate, you’ll be asked roughly how long it took when the work is done.

Can the team sign in with Microsoft 365?

Yes. People can use their work Microsoft account, or an email and password protected by two-factor authentication.

Is there a mobile app?

It’s on the way. It uses the same account and the same data, so anything you change on your phone shows up on the web straight away.

Start this year-end with everything in order.
