# An AI receptionist for tax preparers built for the rush to April 15

An AI receptionist for tax preparers answers every call to your office, which matters most from late January to April 15. It books tax appointments, tells clients what documents to bring, answers questions about hours and prices you choose to share, and takes messages in English, Spanish, Russian or Ukrainian. It gives no tax advice.

## Why tax preparers miss calls

- **Your whole year is four months:** Most of your revenue comes in a short window. Every appointment slot that goes unfilled because a caller hit voicemail on a Saturday in February is money you will not make back in July.
- **Walk-ins and calls at once:** When the office is full of clients waiting with shoeboxes of paperwork, nobody can step away to answer the phone. The ringing line competes with the person sitting in front of you.
- **Callers speak many languages:** Your clients may be more comfortable in Spanish, Russian or Ukrainian, and your bilingual preparer cannot answer every call. A caller who is not understood on the first try often goes elsewhere.

## How does an AI receptionist help tax preparers during tax season?

It answers every call while you are preparing returns, so no appointment request is lost to voicemail between late January and April 15. The assistant books appointments into Google Calendar or Microsoft 365, explains which documents to bring, answers questions about hours, locations and prices you choose to share, and handles calls on nights and weekends when clients finally get around to their taxes. You see a text or email summary for every call.

## Can a tax preparation answering service speak Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian?

Yes. The assistant speaks English, Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian today and switches to the caller’s language during the call. That means a client can book an appointment, hear which documents to bring, and ask about office hours in the language they are most comfortable with. Your summary arrives in a format your team can read, with the caller’s language noted, so the right preparer can take the appointment. If a caller asks for a person, it can warm transfer them.

## Will the AI answer tax questions or promise refunds?

No. It does not tell callers what they can deduct, whether they qualify for a credit, or how big a refund they will get. It does not estimate when a refund will arrive either. When those questions come up, it says the preparer will go over it at the appointment. It can share fixed information you give it, like your starting price for a basic return and your document checklist.

## What about calls after April 15?

Calls drop after the deadline but do not stop. Clients call about extensions, amended returns, letters from the IRS or the state, and prior-year returns. The assistant keeps answering, takes the details, and books appointments on your reduced summer schedule. You can switch to a lower plan during the off-season, and there is no contract, so you are not paying for tax season volume all year. Everything you set up stays in place for next January.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the AI book tax appointments on weekends?

Yes. It answers 24/7 and books into Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 based on the hours you set, including Saturday or evening appointments during tax season. Clients can book at midnight, and you see the appointment and summary right away.

### Will it tell clients how much their refund will be?

No. The assistant never estimates refunds or amounts owed, and it does not predict when a refund will arrive. It explains that the preparer will review everything at the appointment, and it can share your document list so the client comes ready.

### Can it quote my prices?

Yes, if you give it approved prices, such as a starting fee for a simple return or a charge for an additional state. It will share only the figures you provide and will say that the preparer confirms the final price.

### Can I pay less in the off-season?

There is no contract, so you can change plans or cancel any time. Many seasonal offices run a larger plan from January to April and a smaller one the rest of the year. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.

### Can it handle clients calling to ask if their return is done?

It can take those calls and send the question to your team, so the preparer is not interrupted. It does not look up return status itself. You can also give it wording about your usual turnaround time during busy season.
