BM is currently missing a key feature that most accountants expect from practice management software: a clear, list-based view of upcoming deadlines on the dashboard.
At present, deadlines are displayed mainly in graph format, which is not practical for day-to-day workload management. As a result, users still need to maintain separate spreadsheets to track deadlines, which defeats the purpose of using BM as a central management tool.
Suggested Improvement
Introduce a dashboard list view that clearly categorises upcoming deadlines by service type and time frame. For example:
Accounts
Due in 1 month
Due in 2 months
Due in 3 months
Due after more than 3 months
CS01
Due in 1 day
Due in 2 days
Due in 3 days
Due after more than 3 days
VAT
Due in 1 day
Due in 2 days
Due in 3 days
Due after more than 3 days
This enhancement would:
Improve visibility of urgent deadlines
Reduce reliance on external spreadsheets
Enable better daily and short-term planning
Make the dashboard more actionable and user-focused
