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
- Answers the phone and the website chat from the firm's own FAQs and fee guide
- Explains what documents to bring and how to upload them
- Books appointments with the right accountant or team
- Captures new-client enquiries with the details a partner needs to quote
- Hands calls to a person when a client asks for their accountant by name
What it connects to
- CallerHi, I've got a rental property now. Do I need to do anything different this year?
- AgentYou'll need to file an income tax return that includes the rental income and expenses. The team can do that for you. Are you an existing client?
- CallerNo, a friend recommended you.
- AgentGreat. I'll take a few details so a partner can give you a fixed quote. Could I start with your name and email?
- CallerTom Walsh, tom.walsh@example.com.
- AgentThanks Tom. I've also emailed you our checklist of what to gather for a rental property. Expect a quote within two working days.
