Isn't that what calendars are for? Most of the time they are pre-installed on all OSes and they handle recurring schedules and notifications. On Linux I use Thunderbird for email with the Thunderbird Lightning Calendar [1]. I sync phone and desktop using CalDAV.

In my mind I put those reminders in the group of “things to do”. Just like I need to do whatever task of the day, I need to do that accounting tasks if the happens to be the first week of the month. So I like them to be in the same place.

Btw, I decided for Todoist. The recurring reminder is on the premium plan, but I am using a good enough process: I set the recurring tasks to have a deadline of, e.g. the 5th of next month. Then, when I get there, I will set the deadline for the next month and so on. And I grouped these tasks in a group named “Recurring”.
