From January to April the phone at a tax firm rings 3–5× more, with the same people at the desk. Every call that reaches voicemail is a client who dials the next firm on Google. IA tx answers every call on the first ring, 24/7, in English or Spanish.
Texas has no state personal income tax, yet its CPA and tax firms are among the busiest in the country. Businesses file the Texas franchise (margin) tax report with the Comptroller every May 15, collect state and local sales tax of up to 8.25%, and many clients protest property tax appraisals every spring. Add newcomers from California and other states, the energy industry, border trade and hurricane-related IRS deadline extensions, and the phone at a Texas firm never stops.
Estimates from the tax and accounting industry, peak season.
Plus payroll taxes and weeks of training, and gone in May.
Volume multiplies in tax season while the front desk stays the same size.
Spanish-speaking callers wait for the one bilingual person at the desk, or hang up.
A new client who reaches voicemail calls the next firm, and that is recurring yearly revenue gone.
No scripts for your staff to learn.
Every call on the first ring, 24/7, in English or Spanish. It introduces itself as your firm's AI assistant.
It tells new prospects from existing clients, books consults, lists missing documents with an upload link, marks IRS notices urgent and writes down tax questions for a CPA.
Everything lands in one front desk: summary, transcript, appointment and document status. Your staff only steps in when a human is needed.
The same calls, handled differently.
