Uku

Uku is a practice management platform for accounting firms that combines task management, time tracking, a client portal, invoicing, and team workload monitoring. It originated in Estonia and has a growing user base among European accounting practices.

Firms use Uku to assign and track client work, monitor team capacity through visual dashboards, and bill clients based on tracked time or fixed fees. The workload monitoring feature shows at a glance which team members are over- or under-allocated, helping managers redistribute work before deadlines are at risk.

The client portal lets firms share documents, collect signatures, and communicate with clients in a branded environment. Uku is best suited for small to mid-sized firms that want clear visibility into team utilisation and project progress without the overhead of a larger practice management system.
