Sound familiar?

Running a board is hard enough without the admin.

Actions with no owner

Decisions get made, then quietly fall to nobody. A fortnight later, no one is sure who was doing what.

Documents scattered everywhere

Minutes in one inbox, the policy in another, the accounts on a drive nobody can find. Governance by treasure hunt.

Deadlines that sneak up

The annual return, the AGM, the insurance renewal. Someone always remembers, usually a little too late.

Everything a board needs, in one place.

01

Meetings into actions, automatically

Turn meeting transcripts and minutes into ready made action points, owners and due dates included.

02

See who's doing what

Who's on what, and what's overdue, at a glance, so nothing quietly falls to nobody.

03

Minutes, half written for you

Draft minutes generated from your call transcript, ready for you to review, tidy and approve.

04

One home for documents

Every policy, report and set of minutes in one place, not six inboxes and a shared drive nobody trusts.

05

Deadlines, found for you

Key filing dates pulled in from the Charity Commission automatically, so nothing slips through.

06

Nudges before it's due

Gentle email reminders land before things fall due, for the whole board, not just you.
