Client Onboarding Checklist + Welcome Pack (Word & PDF Template)

Description

Make every new client feel like your priority client — from the moment they sign.

The Client Onboarding Checklist + Welcome Pack is a ready-to-edit system that takes the guesswork out of onboarding. Instead of scrambling to remember what to send, when, and to whom, you get a complete, professional process you can use again and again.

What’s inside (10 pages, fully editable in Word, ready to export as PDF):

1. Internal Onboarding Checklist — a 4-phase task list (Before the First Call, Setup & Access, Kickoff Call, First 30 Days) with Owner, Due Date and Done columns, so nothing slips through the cracks.
2. Client Welcome Letter — a warm, professional first message that sets the tone and outlines next steps.
3. Client Information & Intake Form — gather business details, contacts, project goals and background in one go, so you stop chasing information mid-project.
4. Working Together Guide — sets clear expectations on communication channels, response times, working hours, billing and who to contact for what.
5. Document & Access Checklist — track everything received and outstanding, from contracts to platform logins.
6. First 30 Days Roadmap — a simple, shareable timeline that shows your client exactly what to expect in their first month.

Built for consultants, agencies, bookkeepers, virtual assistants, marketers and any service-based small business that wants onboarding to feel as professional as the work itself.

Format: Microsoft Word (.docx) — fully editable — plus a print-ready PDF.

Simply replace the bracketed placeholders with your business details, add your logo, and you’re ready to send to your next client.
