Tax season front desk for an accounting firm

Handles the flood of calls and website questions in tax season: deadlines, what to bring, appointments and new-client enquiries.

The problem

In the weeks before the tax deadline the phone never stops, and most calls ask the same handful of questions. Reception is swamped, and new-client enquiries wait days for a reply.

How it works

  1. Answers the phone and the website chat from the firm's own FAQs and fee guide
  2. Explains what documents to bring and how to upload them
  3. Books appointments with the right accountant or team
  4. Captures new-client enquiries with the details a partner needs to quote
  5. Hands calls to a person when a client asks for their accountant by name
