What Does a File Intake VA Do?
They act as the gatekeeper for all inbound client documentation, ensuring every file is perfectly named, stored securely, and verified before your core team begins their work.
Collection & Naming
- Monitoring central `intake@` or `documents@` inboxes.
- Extracting attachments from secure portals (ShareFile, Dropbox).
- Enforcing strict, uniform file naming conventions (e.g., `YYYY-MM-DD_ClientName_Type`).
- Routing files into the correct client folders in SharePoint or Drive.
Verification & Follow-Up
- Reviewing submitted PDFs to ensure they are legible and complete.
- Checking for missing signatures, dates, or skipped pages.
- Relentlessly emailing or texting clients to request missing documents.
- Compiling documents into combined, indexed PDF packets.
Data Entry & CRM Updates
- Extracting key data points from raw intake forms and PDFs.
- Creating new client profiles in your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Clio).
- Updating status trackers (e.g., "Awaiting Tax Returns", "File Complete").
- Notifying your internal team via Slack when a client file is ready for review.
Scale Operations Without Security Risks
Hiring local administrative staff is expensive and prone to turnover. Freelancers on open platforms pose a massive data security risk. Sagedoer provides a fully managed, NDA-bound VA overseen by our internal QA team.
Dedicated Project Manager
Your single point of contact. They review the VA's filing accuracy, verify naming conventions, and ensure strict compliance with your standard operating procedures. Completely free.
Strict Privacy Protocols
We understand the sensitivity of financial, legal, and personal documents. All VAs sign rigorous NDAs, and our workflows integrate with your secure cloud to ensure files never reside locally on VA machines.
Zero Disruption Replacements
If your VA takes leave, your Project Manager seamlessly deploys an internally vetted replacement familiar with your folder structure. Your intake process never bottlenecks.
