Know Which Clients Need Attention Before They Call You

Managing a roster of clients means constantly context-switching between companies, each with its own state of organization. Some clients reconcile monthly. Others have uncategorized transactions stacking up for weeks. A few have overdue invoices nobody has followed up on. Without a unified view, spotting which client needs urgent attention requires opening every company one by one.

Kantivo's Client Health Scores solve this by automatically calculating a books quality score for each client on your Accountant Tools dashboard. Six key metrics are evaluated continuously: bank reconciliation status, uncategorized transactions, overdue invoices, unfiled receipts, days since last activity, and open bills awaiting review. The result is a single score that tells you, at a glance, which clients are in good shape and which ones need a conversation today.

Auto-Calculate

Kantivo evaluates six health metrics per client automatically. No manual scoring, no spreadsheets — the system runs the analysis in the background.

See the Signal

Each client displays a Red, Yellow, or Green indicator on your client list. Critical issues show Red. Minor concerns show Yellow. Clean books show Green.

3

Sort by Priority

The client list sorts worst-first by default so the clients who need the most attention are always at the top. No more hunting for problems.

📈 Six Health Metrics

Every client is evaluated across six dimensions of books quality, calculated automatically from live accounting data.

  • Bank reconciliation status (last reconciled date vs. today)
  • Uncategorized transaction count
  • Overdue invoices outstanding
  • Unfiled receipts awaiting categorization
  • Days since last activity in the books
  • Open bills pending review or approval

🟢 Traffic-Light Indicators

A simple Red / Yellow / Green system makes client status readable in under a second without interpreting numbers or percentages.

  • Green: books are current and clean
  • Yellow: minor issues present, attention recommended
  • Red: critical issues requiring immediate action
  • Displayed prominently on each client row in your list

📊 Sortable Client List

Your Accountant Tools client list is sortable by health score so you can immediately see who needs work without scrolling through a long roster.

  • Works across all clients in your practice at once
  • Updates in real time as client data changes

🔍 Drill-Down Issue Tags

  • Per-issue tags: "Unreconciled," "Overdue Invoices," "Inactive," etc.
  • Links directly to the relevant section of that client's books
  • Helps prioritize which issue to resolve first
  • Visible without switching company context until ready

Built for Accountants Managing Multiple Clients

Client Health Scores live inside Kantivo's Accountant Tools — the section of the app designed specifically for accounting professionals who manage multiple client companies. Everything is designed around the reality of a busy practice: you need to triage quickly, communicate clearly with clients about what is wrong, and work efficiently without opening each company and clicking around to diagnose the state of the books.

The health score system is non-intrusive for clients. It runs entirely on the accountant's side of the dashboard. Clients see their own books as normal. Accountants see the aggregated health view that makes practice management significantly more efficient.

Proactive Service Instead of Reactive Cleanup

Without a health monitoring system, most accountants discover client problems reactively — during tax prep, during a year-end review, or when the client calls with a question and you open their books to find months of uncategorized transactions. Client Health Scores flip this dynamic. When a client's books start drifting, the score drops and the indicator turns yellow or red. You see it happen and can reach out proactively, before the mess compounds. That is the kind of service that builds long-term client relationships and referrals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the health score calculated?

Kantivo evaluates six metrics for each client: bank reconciliation currency, uncategorized transaction count, number of overdue invoices, unfiled receipts, days since last activity, and open bills awaiting review. Each metric contributes to the overall score. The combination of active issues determines whether the client shows as Green, Yellow, or Red.

How often does the health score update?

Health scores recalculate automatically based on live data in each client's company. When a transaction is categorized, an invoice is paid, or a reconciliation is completed, the relevant metric updates and the score reflects the change. There is no manual refresh required.

Do clients see their own health score?

No. Client Health Scores are visible only to the accountant in the Accountant Tools section of the dashboard. Clients access their own books through their standard login and see their accounting data as normal. The health view is an internal practice management tool for the accountant's benefit.

Can I click a health issue tag to jump directly to the problem?

Yes. Each issue tag in the drill-down view is linked to the relevant section of that client's books. If the tag says "Uncategorized Transactions," clicking it navigates you into that client's transaction list filtered to show uncategorized items. This eliminates the need to manually locate the problem once you know it exists.

Is Client Health Scores available on all Kantivo plans?

Client Health Scores are part of Kantivo's Accountant Tools feature set, which is available on plans that include multi-client accountant functionality. Check the pricing page for plan details or start a free trial to explore all Accountant Tools features during your trial period.
