A Faster Way to Start Better Client Conversations: Introducing Client Request for Information

The development team at All In Place has hit the ground running in 2026.

Our latest release, Client Request for Information, is designed to solve a problem every accountant recognises instantly:

You know the right questions to ask your clients – but getting the answers takes time, friction, and often the “wrong” setting and may sometimes feel a little awkward.

This new feature changes that.

What is Client Request for Information?

Client Request for Information allows you to send a structured request directly from the All In Place platform to your client via email.

With a single action, your client receives a simple, secure prompt inviting them to share their personal financial priorities and information that underpins meaningful conversations.

No chasing.
No long forms.
No awkward meetings just to gather facts.

The Right Questions, Asked the Right Way

The questions built into Client Request for Information aren’t generic. They’re the result of All In Place’s deep experience in helping accountants move beyond compliance and develop an advisory based culture in your firm.

Clients are guided through questions covering:

  • Their personal financial position

  • Wills and powers of attorney

  • Mortgages and personal liabilities

  • Personal goals and priorities

  • The information required to build their personal balance sheet

These are the areas that quietly shape decision-making, risk, and opportunity – yet are almost always missing from traditional accounting systems and software.

All In Place doesn’t ask these questions by accident. They are the questions that consistently unlock better conversations, stronger relationships, and clearer advice.

Designed for Clients, Not Just Firms

From the client’s perspective, the experience is deliberately simple.

They can:

  • Complete the request from their phone

  • Sit at home, in their own time

  • Submit everything in around three to five minutes

Once submitted, you’re immediately notified and can access the information straight from the platform.

The result is a smoother, calmer exchange that respects your client’s time while giving you richer insight than a checklist ever could.

Insight That Turns Into Action

As soon as the information comes back, you can quickly assess:

  • Where the client may be exposed to risk

  • Where advice or guidance may be needed

  • Where personal goals and business decisions may be misaligned

  • Where opportunities for deeper support and financial insights exist

This is where All In Place shows its real strength.

Because this information feeds directly into the wider platform, it doesn’t just sit in a file. It becomes part of an evolving picture of the client’s life, finances, and priorities.

Use It How Your Firm Works

Client Requests for Information are deliberately flexible.

Firms are already using it:

  • As part of their onboarding process to set a completely different tone from day one

  • To re-engage existing clients and deepen relationships

  • To target specific client groups where advisory conversations matter most

Whether you’re onboarding, reviewing, or preparing for future planning conversations, this feature gives you a fast, structured way to start talking about what really matters.

Why This Matters in 2026

The firms that will stand out in 2026 won’t be the ones with more reports or more dashboards.

They’ll be the ones who:

  • Understand their clients as people, not just entities

  • Ask better questions, earlier

  • Build relationships around personal as well as business goals

Client Request for Information is a small piece of functionality with an outsized impact – because it reflects what All In Place has always been about: helping accountants put the human first.

A Small Feature With a Big Effect

On the surface, this is a simple tool.

In practice, it’s a powerful way to:

  • Reduce friction

  • Increase engagement

  • Improve the quality of your conversations

  • Strengthen long-term client relationships

It’s a meaningful step forward in how firms will use All In Place to deliver better advice.
