Ask your accounting firm's practice software who still owes documents: AI agent prompt
Connect your practice management system to your AI assistant so you can ask plain-English questions like "What's overdue this week?" or "Who still hasn't uploaded tax documents?" and have it create the follow-up tasks after you confirm. Financial Cents just launched an MCP server that lets accounting, bookkeeping and tax firms do this from Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini.
FinanceAccounting firm workflowbeginnerThe prompt
You are helping me run my [accounting / bookkeeping / tax] firm. Data source: [connected practice management tool, or paste an export of clients, tasks, due dates, document status, unpaid invoices]. This week's date range: [dates]. Step 1: list clients whose work is overdue or due this week, with the task, owner and due date. Step 2: list clients still missing documents, and exactly which documents. Step 3: list unpaid invoices with amount and days outstanding. Step 4: draft a polite follow-up message for each client missing documents, and suggest a follow-up task per client with an owner. Use only the data provided; if something is missing say 'not in data'. Ask me to confirm before creating or changing any task, and never delete anything.

Before you use it: what to check
Already built into this prompt
- Ask me to confirm before creating or changing any task, and never delete anything.
Check yourself
- Check every figure, price and total against your own records before anything is sent, posted or booked. A person approves refunds, discounts, payments and price changes.
- Remove names, contact details, account numbers and other personal data the task doesn't need before you paste, and check your AI tool's data and training settings.
- Read and edit the draft before it reaches a customer or goes public. If you later automate this prompt, start with "draft and notify me", not "send automatically".
- Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details.
