Appointment and fee software for brokers and advisers
Read this part first: what TaskMyJob is not
It is not FCA-regulated software. It holds no advice record and no suitability report, it performs no affordability or know-your-customer checks, it does not submit anything to a lender or an insurer, and it is not a replacement for a regulated back-office system.
What it does is the part that is the same in every professional firm: the appointments, the documents, the signatures, the fees and the money coming in. If that is not the gap you have, it is better that you know now than after you have moved.
What it does handle
A diary that understands a phone call
The paperwork goes with the appointment
Signed where you put the line
The fee, however you take it
Ongoing fees that collect themselves
And who is actually bringing the work in
Who it suits
Mortgage and protection brokers, commercial finance brokers, insurance brokers, independent financial advisers, will writers and estate planners, and the appointment-and-fee side of accountancy practices. If the work starts with a meeting and ends with a fee, the professional services page covers the same shape from a different angle.
Questions, answered
Can appointments be by phone or video?
Yes, and they are treated as first-class rather than as a workaround. A remote appointment needs no address, is on nobody's route and has no travel time added, so a practice that never leaves its office has a diary that makes sense. Office staff can be given remote appointments too, not only the people who go out.
Can I send the client agreement and the invoice together?
Yes. Documents travel with a quote, an invoice or an appointment as real email attachments rather than links, because the point of a client agreement is that they keep a copy. Nothing goes out unless you marked it as the client's, and anything too large for one message is linked rather than quietly dropped.
Can documents be signed?
Yes, and you choose where on the page the signature goes. A record page is always appended with the exact wording agreed, the time, the IP address and the device — because a signature block carries a name and a date, and that is not the same as proof.
Can I take a fee on completion, or in stages?
Yes. A fee can be taken in full, split into a payment on account and a balance, or staged across the work. The last stage is always the remainder rather than a percentage, so a fee split three ways never totals a penny more than it was agreed at.
What about an annual or ongoing fee?
A card can be kept on file with the client's written agreement and charged as the invoice goes out, and a charge that fails tells somebody rather than failing quietly.
Can I record a case or policy reference?
Yes, as your own fields — a case number, a policy number, a lender reference — and you choose where each appears. A field is keyed by its identity rather than its label, so renaming it does not detach everything recorded against it.
Is this FCA-regulated software?
No. TaskMyJob is not regulated software, holds no advice or suitability record, performs no affordability or know-your-customer checks, and submits nothing to a lender or an insurer. It handles the appointments, the documents, the signatures and the fee. Your regulated systems and your compliance obligations stay exactly where they are.
