Tax season shouldn't mean
dropping leads. Ours makes sure you don't.

Your busiest weeks are when new clients slip through — overwhelmed staff, full voicemail, unanswered emails. We install systems that scale with your peak volume without hiring, and handle every inquiry within 60 seconds.

The numbers don't lie.

Tax season and deadline surges create intake volume that any human staff will drop. Lost leads during peak weeks are revenue that never comes back.

Peak-season abandonment

of inbound leads go unanswered at mid-size accounting firms during peak filing weeks.

After 5pm

When most new inquiries arrive

The majority of new business inquiries to CPA and advisory firms arrive outside business hours — evenings, weekends, and tax-season Sundays when no staff is reachable.

78%

Prospects hire the first to respond

In professional services, 78% of buyers choose the first firm that responds to their inquiry. In accounting, where trust is everything, first contact defines the relationship.

What this can look like.

This is a hypothetical scenario — not a real customer. It illustrates how the model typically plays out for a financial services firm.

HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO — NOT A REAL CUSTOMER

A 3-partner CPA firm in Chandler, AZ — losing 40 leads per week during the March–April filing crunch

A three-partner CPA firm specializing in SMB tax preparation was fielding roughly 80 inbound inquiries per week during peak filing season — January through April 15. Their front desk handled intake and scheduling, but from March 1 onward, the staff was fully consumed by existing client work. New inquiries went to voicemail or sat in an email queue for 48–72 hours. An estimated 40 of those 80 weekly leads were lost before anyone responded.

We installed the AI intake assistant to handle all inbound calls, web form submissions, and email inquiries 24/7 — specifically configured for tax and advisory service triage. The assistant qualifies by service type (personal vs. business, new client vs. existing), captures relevant timing details, and books a 20-minute consultation directly into partner calendars. Document request follow-up sequences were layered in to reduce the back-and-forth that was consuming 2–3 hours per partner daily.

In this scenario, zero leads drop during peak season — every inquiry is responded to within 60 seconds regardless of staff availability. Intake processing speeds up 3× because qualification happens before the partner call. Document chase time drops roughly 80% through automated follow-up sequences. The performance fee applies only on the net-revenue delta above the locked baseline — the firm pays nothing until the improvement shows in their books.

Financial services, answered.

How do you handle sensitive financial data during intake? +
The AI handles scheduling and basic intake — it doesn't process actual financial records, tax returns, or account data. That stays in your accounting system. The AI captures contact information, service needs, and appointment preferences — nothing beyond what a front-desk intake call would collect.
Do you work with solo CPAs or only larger firms? +
Both. Qualification is based on audit score, not firm size. Solo practitioners and two-person shops qualify if the math works — which often it does, because lead handling at small firms is usually the weakest link.
How does this scale for tax season? +
AI capacity scales automatically — there's no seasonal surcharge. Your baseline period is noted at onboarding, and if it includes a slow season, peak periods show up as genuine improvement rather than seasonal noise.
What's the commitment term? +
Month-to-month after the baseline is locked. No long-term contracts. If lead volume and revenue don't improve above baseline, you don't pay — and you're not obligated to stay.
