What the research says about businesses like yours
Published studies, not our marketing. Every source is linked.
Today's AI can technically automate the activities that absorb 60 to 70% of employees' time — a jump from the 50% estimate before generative AI arrived.

Start with one. The ones marked below are where most accounting firms see the fastest return — but they all work on the same operation.
Phone Agent
The front desk during busy season
The agent handles scheduling, status questions, and new-client inquiries so your team isn't interrupted mid-return.
- Callers hear a friendly greeting in your voice, day or night
- New leads are captured with name, number, and what they need
- Every call shows up as a transcript you can read later
Website
Specialties, industries, and fit
Businesses looking for a CPA want to know you understand their industry. Say it clearly and the calls you get are better ones.
- Loads fast and looks right on every phone
- Edit your own pages by clicking or speaking, no tech skills
- Stays current because you change it the moment something changes

- Stop losing leads in spreadsheets, sticky notes, and inboxes
- See every deal and where it stands at a glance
- Built to match your steps, so your team actually uses it
Second Brain
Precedent and client history
The position taken last year, the workpapers from a similar engagement, what you advised in that meeting — surfaced on demand.
- Stop digging through folders and old emails to find one detail
- Ask in plain words and get an answer in seconds

Frequently asked questions
Will the AI agent sound professional to my accounting clients?+
The agent is trained on your firm's actual services, hours, and intake process. It speaks calmly and clearly, answers common questions about your offerings, and hands off or books appointments when the caller is ready.
Can this help during tax season when call volume picks up?+
That's one of the most common reasons Lima-area accountants reach out. The phone agent answers your line when your staff is occupied, so callers get a helpful response rather than voicemail.
Do I need to rebuild my whole practice around this?+
No. The tools are built to fit your existing workflow. A website can go live in days, and the phone agent runs on your current business number — nothing about your day-to-day has to change to get started.
More hours on advisory, fewer on chasing and answering.
Help more prospective clients reach a live answer on your line, even during peak tax season.
