Dashboard Features

The Zera Books client dashboard is built around the reality of multi-client accounting practice: you're processing the same clients every month, and you need to find, track, and re-download past work without searching through a flat file list.

Client Folders

Create a folder for each client. All conversions, uploads, and output files for that client are organized together. Unlimited clients, no per-client fee.

Conversion History

Every conversion logged with timestamp, source file name, output files generated, and the processing account. Re-download any past output file without re-converting.

Batch Upload

Drag and drop 50+ files in a single upload. Files are processed in parallel. Output organized by client and document type automatically.

Audit Trail

Every document processed is logged. Supports regulatory record-keeping requirements and internal quality review. Timestamps preserved in UTC.

Batch Processing Workflow

Month-end processing typically involves the same set of clients, each with 1-5 statement PDFs. The batch processing workflow is designed for this pattern — upload everything for the month in one job, get organized output for each client.

1

Upload all files at once

Drag and drop PDFs from all clients into the batch upload interface. Files can be named anything — the platform identifies document type and content automatically.

2

Assign to client folders

Files are automatically associated with client folders based on your naming configuration, or manually assigned if preferred. Multi-account PDFs are split and assigned to the same client.

3

Parallel processing

All documents process simultaneously — a 50-file batch doesn't take 50x the time of a single file. Most batches complete in under 5 minutes regardless of size.

4

Organized output download

Download output by client, or export all at once. Each output file is named with the source document name and processing date for easy filing.

Month-end time savings: A 30-client firm that individually uploads 90 statements (3 per client) and manually assigns each to a client folder spends 45+ minutes on file management. Batch upload with auto-assignment reduces that to under 5 minutes. See CPA workflow reference for full month-end process.
