Uku task management dashboard for accountants — daily task plan with calendar view

When tasks appear on the right person's dashboard on the right day, your firm runs on one daily plan everyone can trust — so nobody needs a status meeting to know what's due, and no client deadline slips through.

What structured task management delivers
0

Missed deadlines

Tasks appear automatically when it's time to work on them. Reminders catch anything that slips. Team leads see overdue work in real time.

12h

Saved per person, weekly

No status meetings, no chat check-ins, no spreadsheet tracking. The dashboard tells everyone exactly what to work on today.

100%

Task visibility across the firm

Team leads see every client, every task, every deadline. Accountants see their own plan. Substitutions take minutes, not hours.

“Uku has significantly improved the way I work by making everything more structured, efficient, and giving me confidence that tasks are completed accurately and on schedule.”

FAQ

Task management questions.

How does Uku create daily task plans automatically?

Uku uses workflow templates with scheduled start dates and deadlines. When you set up a client workflow, tasks appear on the assigned accountant's dashboard and calendar on the right day — no manual scheduling needed.

Can I drag and drop tasks between days?

Yes. Both the dashboard and calendar views support drag-and-drop. Move tasks between days to rebalance workload instantly. Changes reflect for everyone who can see that task.

How do task reminders work?

Uku sends reminders before deadlines approach. Team leads see overdue tasks highlighted in real time. You can also set up email notifications for task assignments and status changes.

Can I assign tasks to multiple team members?

Each task has a primary assignee, but you can reassign tasks temporarily (for vacations or sick leave) or permanently. Bulk reassignment is also supported — move all of one person's tasks to another in seconds.

What are subtask checklists?

Subtasks are mini to-do items within a task. Add a checklist of steps that need to be completed — like 'Download bank statement', 'Reconcile transactions', 'Send report to client'. Each can be checked off independently.

How does Uku handle extra work or ad-hoc tasks?

Mark any task as 'extra work' with one click. This tags it separately so you can track all non-recurring work, include it in billing reports, and ensure nothing goes unbilled.

Can I customize the dashboard view?

Yes. Filter by team member, client, task type, status, or deadline. Save your preferred view as default. The calendar view offers the same filtering options with a visual daily/weekly/monthly layout.

Is task management included in all plans?

Task management is a core feature included in every Uku plan — Solo, Team, Elite, and Enterprise. Workflow automations for recurring task templates are included in all four plans, too.
