Executive summary
There's a narrow opening in the EU: a document portal for bookkeepers that one person can build and run, built around compliance.
Independent bookkeepers and small practices already burn real hours chasing clients for documents over email, WhatsApp, and reminders. The research shows they complain about it constantly. It's one of the biggest time sinks in the job.
The timing is unusually good. The EU is rolling out rules through 2025 to 2027 that force invoices to be created and sent in a structured electronic format. That turns collecting documents from a nice-to-have into something small firms legally have to do.
The opening isn't another all-in-one practice suite. It's a lighter portal with flat per-seat pricing, quick client setup, and built-in EU compliance workflows that the big tools only bundle for larger firms.
- The pain is specific and it keeps happening: chasing invoices, receipts, statements, and signed forms.
- In France, Belgium, Germany, and Spain, the regulatory pressure is here now.
- AI and low-code tools mean one person can actually build a compliance portal now, which wasn't realistic a few years ago.
- The wedge is narrow enough to sell fast, but you can grow it into other bookkeeping automation later.

Questions, answered
How does Docket actually get my clients to send documents?
You send one branded link, and the portal shows the client exactly which statements, receipts and forms are still missing. Reminders fire automatically until the list is complete, so nothing waits on you writing another chaser.
My clients are glued to email and WhatsApp. Will they switch?
Docket is built to be easier than email: fewer steps for the client than digging through threads, plus a hands-on migration path when you onboard a practice.
How is this different from Karbon or TaxDome?
Karbon and TaxDome are full practice suites packaged and priced for larger firms. Docket does one thing, client document collection with native EU compliance workflows, at a flat per-seat price built for solo and small practices.
