Every February call you miss is a client who found another preparer, and every 'did you get my W-2?' call interrupts real work. The AI Front Desk answers, books, chases documents and keeps clients calm. From $750/mo flat.
Your numbers, not ours. Drag them to your reality. Then remember the front desk that stops the leak costs $750/mo flat.
Answering the phone is the front door. The system behind it runs the rest of the job, so nothing leaks between "hello" and "paid."
February call volume with June staffing: the agent absorbs the surge, answers status questions from your workflow notes, and never bills overtime.
New clients, annual reviews and planning sessions land on the right partner's calendar with the situation summarized in advance.
Missing W-2s, 1099s and receipts get chased by call and text until they land in your portal. The bottleneck in most returns isn't the preparer.
The ask goes out when the refund lands or the filing confirms, the exact moment clients remember why they pay a professional.
Engagement deposits and open invoices get steady reminders, so April's work doesn't become September's receivable.
Calls by type, consults booked, returns blocked on documents, cash outstanding. Your season at a glance, every Monday.
Not software to learn. Things that show up: booked work, five-star reviews, and a Monday number that tells the truth. From $750/mo flat, and you own the system.
Callers land on your schedule qualified, confirmed and reminded. No phone tag.
“Called in February dreading hold music. Got a real answer about my return, a Friday e-sign date, and my CPA never got interrupted.”
The ask goes out at the happiest moment, every time. Stars compound into rankings. Example shown.
What happened, what's stuck, what got paid. Numbers shown are illustrative.

Peak season triples your calls exactly when every staff hour should be billable. The surge gets answered now, and prospective clients stop leaking to whoever picked up first.
'Is my return done yet' calls are real client anxiety and pure interruption. Answered instantly from your workflow status, they cost your preparers zero minutes.
Half your WIP is waiting on one document a client forgot. Systematic chasing clears the queue and pulls filings forward, without a single awkward staff call.
June inquiries are rare and precious: business owners with real problems. Each one now gets answered, qualified and booked, building the advisory book that smooths your year.

Yes, that's a favorite trick. It reads status from your workflow tool and gives clients a real answer with a real timeline, which kills the interruption and the anxiety in one move.
We build around your practice management stack so bookings, statuses and document requests flow through the system your firm already uses.
Never. Anything substantive books a consult or routes to the right preparer. It handles logistics, status, scheduling and documents, the 80% of calls that don't need a CPA.
The off-season is when it chases documents for extensions, books advisory consults and nurtures the pipeline. Firms usually find the quiet months are where it quietly earns the most.
The same $750/mo flat as August. Surge pricing is an answering-service concept, and one reason those bills sting in April.
About two weeks: services, deadlines, portal links and escalation rules loaded, then tested with your office manager before it answers a single client.
Your firm does, completely: the number, the automations, the interaction history. If we part ways, it all stays and keeps working.
