End of day report template: know what your assistant did, without asking

A free template your remote assistant fills in at the end of each day: hours, what got done, the routines they ran and the questions that need you. Copy it in one click.

Why an end of day report beats asking for updates

You stop sending "any update?" at 5pm, and your assistant stops answering the same question in three chats. One report a day gives you what got done, the hours behind it, and the questions that need you.

What goes in an end of day report

  • Date and hours: start, finish and the total
  • Done today: each finished task on one line
  • Routines run: the recurring jobs ticked off today
  • Output: one count you care about, like invoices entered or calls made
  • Notes and questions: what's stuck and what needs your decision

The template

Copy it, replace the brackets, and send it to your assistant on day one. End of day report Date: [Mon 6 Oct] Hours: [9:00am] to [6:00pm], [8.5] hours Done today - [Answered 23 customer emails] - [Sent 6 invoices in Xero] - [Booked 3 meetings for next week] Routines run - [Inbox sweep] - [Daily bookkeeping] Output - [42 invoices entered] Notes and questions for you - [Supplier X hasn't replied to the quote. Chase again on Wednesday?]

How to use it with a remote assistant

Start tomorrow knowing what needs your attention

Read the notes and questions first. That's where a stuck quote or a missing login shows up, a day before it turns into a late invoice.

When a template isn't enough

In Crewhall your assistant files this report in the app at the end of their day. The hours can come straight from the time tracker, the routines they ran are listed on it, and you can download a week as a PDF or send a link to your business partner. Crewhall comes free with every Catalyst assistant.
