How It Works

How Navoqo keeps files moving, clients informed, and payment follow-up on track.

Set up your workspace once, then run daily follow-up with clear stages, client updates, and billing reminders in one practical loop — through month-end, GST/HST periods, and filing season.

Detailed Steps

What happens at each step for your team, your clients, and inside Navoqo.

  1. Set up once

  2. Step 1

    Create your workspace

    Business action

    Set your workspace name, owner defaults, and service context once.

    Client experience

    No client messages are sent yet. You establish internal structure first.

    Why this matters

    A single workspace prevents fragmented setup across inboxes and spreadsheets.

  3. Step 2

    Build your workflow

    Business action

    Define one practical path your files should follow from intake to completion.

    Client experience

    Clients get a consistent experience because every file follows the same logic.

    Why this matters

    A stable workflow removes ad hoc handling and unclear ownership.

  4. Step 3

    Define your stages

    Business action

    Set stage labels that match your practice — Waiting on slips, Reconciling, Filed with CRA, Complete.

    Client experience

    Clients later see understandable progress labels, not internal jargon.

    Why this matters

    Stage clarity makes handoffs and status communication consistent.

  6. Step 4

    Add a client file

    Business action

    Create one structured file with service type, filing or period end date, and payment terms.

    Client experience

    You can now manage this engagement from one visible operating record.

    Why this matters

    One file per client keeps status, updates, and reminders connected.

  7. Step 5

    Move files through stages

    Business action

    Change a stage and your team instantly sees what's done and what's next.

    Client experience

    Updates reflect real progress instead of ad hoc status emails.

    Why this matters

    Progress is always visible — no one needs to ask.
