How firms do this today
A secretary chases the client for statements. A fee earner then reads every page, ticks months, and hopes a transfer to an unnamed account is not missed. That first pass is slow and usually unbillable.

Matters
Collects a client's financial disclosure, checks every figure twice, and hands the fee earner a cited file.
Two sides of the same matter
A first-time walkthrough. The client gathers documents; the firm receives the checked file.

Firm view
The firm receives a checked, cited pack.
What the agent does
It invites the client, collects the file, checks every figure twice, flags discrepancies with page citations, and hands you a pack you can take into Form E.
What this means for your firm
More matters, same team. The chase and first-pass check run without the fee earner sitting on the file.
Faster handover. When the checklist is complete, the cited pack is already there.
Fewer missed discrepancies. This file's finding is £11,250 to an account that was never disclosed.
Illustrative estimate, not a measured result. If a secretary currently spends around half a day chasing and first-checking a typical Form E file (12 months of statements, payslips and a CETV), the same person can keep several files moving while the agent does the chase and the first pass. Assumption: one mid-flow chase, no unusual document set.
