Group playbook
The Accounting Doc
our CPA firm in Pickering, Ontario
How PandaDoc fits at The Accounting Doc
Engagement letters, NDAs and onboarding packs were emailed as attachments and chased by hand.
- PandaDoc (proposals, contracts and e-signature) sends each document from a template, tracks opens and collects the signature.
- Signed documents file themselves against the client in the CRM.
- Reminders go out automatically on day three and day seven; a person steps in after that.
What changed: Onboarding is a sequence, not a chase.
Lesson: If a document is sent more than twice a month, it needs a template.
Group playbook: how this job is set up across the Adnan Feroz Group companies. The method, not measured results.
