Overview

2Shakes provides Cloud Onboarding Automation for Practices.
Accountants, Bookkeepers and other practices can save time, give a better service, and present a more professional first impression to their clients. Because 2Shakes will easily create Client Agreements, Renewals, Authorities & Consents, turning a 1-2 hour onboarding process into 5 minutes.

And for practices that are Reporting Entities, you can do all your AML Customer Due Diligence - including Biometric ID Verification - in the Sign Up flow.

So you get your Services, Fees and T's and C's agreed and signed off immediately, and get any authorities you need to work for your new client. And any AML Customer Due Diligence is done too.

The Agreements are electronically signed by your clients, and then uploaded to Xero XPM at the click of a button.

For New Zealand users, 2Shakes integrates with NZBN to pull down company information, and sets up authority to act at IRD, ACC and Companies Office. 2Shakes in NZ also includes extensions for meeting AML Phase 2 compliance.

Once an Agreement is electronically signed, the new Client details, their Contacts and the Agreement PDF are all uploaded to Xero Practice Manager with a single click, saving time and preventing errors.

New clients can be linked to Manager or Partner, and added to a Group, as part of the upload.

Game changer

I've been using 2Shakes for multiple years. After a company split, re-engaging clients was a daunting task. 2Shakes made it way less stressful and we've been with the ever since. Also, Mike's a top bloke - great service and good people!

Game changer!

An early adopter for this product as it's a no-brainer! 2Shakes is an integral part of our onboarding process. Secure, efficient and flexible - we can sign up a new customer in minutes, renew existing agreements with updated details and fees quickly, and get prompt and friendly support when needed. I highly recommend for both bookkeepers and accountants who want to manage their practice effectively.

Let's get Shaking!

Client onboarding used to feel like wrestling a possum in a filing cabinet—now it’s as easy as clicking a few buttons and pretending I know what I’m doing. No more chasing signatures, no more printing 47 pages only to realise page 3 was upside down. Just smooth, slick, wizard-level magic that makes me look way more professional!
