Onboard a new accounting client without the endless back-and-forth.

Client type: [e.g. freelancers, small businesses, e-commerce] Services I provide: [LIST] The questionnaire should collect everything I need to start without ten follow-up emails: business and entity details, the accounts and tools they use, who else touches the books, their current pain points, deadlines and obligations coming up, and how they like to communicate. Group it logically and keep it as short as it can be while still complete. Mark the must-have fields vs. nice-to-have. End with the one question that usually reveals a hidden mess.
