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.
Where it starts
The trigger.
A new client account is opened or a client sends onboarding documents.
How it runs today
- Staff track missing documents in email threads and spreadsheets.
- Clients receive several separate requests for things they could have sent at once.
- Files reach review incomplete and bounce back.
The workflow
Four bounded steps.
Each step has an owner and a stop rule.
- 01 / Collect
Read documents clients upload or email, and the onboarding checklist for that client type.
- 02 / Check
Mark each checklist item as received, missing, expired or unreadable, with a note of where it was found.
- 03 / Request
Send the client one clear request listing everything still needed.
- 04 / Review
An onboarding specialist reviews the complete file and approves it under your existing procedures.
Where people stay in control
Approval points.
- An onboarding specialist approves every file under your existing procedures.
- Identity and financial documents are stored only in approved systems with restricted access.
How we would measure it
Against a baseline.
Measured before and after, on the same work.
Days from account opening to a complete file.
Requests sent per client before the file is complete.
Files returned from review as incomplete.
