Recurring Tasks

Save time with bookkeeping workflow templates

Add a weekly recurrence to show tasks one or more days of the week. Use date-based recurrences for monthly, quarterly, or yearly tasks.

If the recurrence falls on a weekend, choose whether you'll finish the task before or after the day.

FAQ

Questions about workflow automation

Workflow automation means standardizing your recurring tasks with templates and rules so they appear on the right person's dashboard at the right time. Instead of manually assigning work each month, Uku creates tasks automatically based on recurrence patterns, deadlines, and team assignments.
You create a task template once with all the details β€” subtasks, attachments, responsible person, and time estimates. Set a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly recurrence. Uku automatically generates the task when it's due and assigns it to the right team member.
Yes. Each client has their own work plan with agreed tasks, deadlines, the responsible person, customer information, contacts, documents, notes, and access rights. You can use master templates as a starting point and customize per client.
When a recurring task falls on a day off, you choose whether the task is brought forward or moved to the next working day. This ensures no deadlines are missed while respecting your team's work-life balance.
Yes. Uku integrates time tracking directly into the task workflow. Enter a time forecast, work on the task, and when you mark it done, the time is logged automatically. Every tracked minute can map to a billing contract.
