# How can a professional services or financial firm use AI to gather new clients’ documents without chasing them one email at a time?

Start with a written checklist for each client type, including which documents are required and when each one expires. AI reads what clients upload or email, marks every checklist item as received, missing, expired or unreadable with a note of where it was found, and sends the client one clear request listing everything still needed instead of several separate messages. An onboarding specialist reviews the complete file and approves it under your existing procedures, and identity and financial documents stay only in approved systems with restricted access.

## What this means in practice

- Write an onboarding checklist for each client type.
- Mark each item as received, missing, expired or unreadable.
- Send each client one request that lists everything still needed.
- Have an onboarding specialist approve every complete file.
- Keep identity and financial documents in approved systems only.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.

## See it as a workflow

- [Client onboarding document collection](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/client-onboarding-document-collection/): Track which onboarding documents each new client has sent, check each one against your checklist, and send clear requests for anything missing, so the onboarding team reviews complete files instead of chasing paperwork.
