Accountancy firms

An AI receptionist for accountancy firms

For firm owners, accountants, bookkeepers and practice managers. Sevai24 answers the firm’s phone, shares the service information you have approved, and takes the details of anyone who wants to speak to a person.

The phone cuts across client work

Calls interrupt client work

A call during a set of accounts or a client meeting is hard to pick up and easy to miss.

New clients need a response

A prospective client often calls once. If nobody answers, the enquiry can end there.

The same questions

What the firm does, who it works with and how to arrange a conversation come up again and again.

Deadline weeks

Call volume rises when people are worried about filings, just as the team is at its busiest.

Consultation requests

Someone wants a time with an accountant, not an answer made up on the spot.

What Sevai24 does for a firm

Sevai24 answers according to the routing you configure. Many firms start by sending it calls when staff are unavailable.

Approved service information

Describes the services you have written down, without adding advice.

Prospective-client details

Captures name, number and how to reach them for follow-up.

The reason for the call

Records the enquiry so an accountant knows why the person called.

Consultations

Arranges a conversation where appointment handling is enabled for the firm.

Confirmations

Sends a text where SMS is set up.

Escalation

Passes complex questions to your team following your instructions.

It does not give advice

Sevai24 does not provide personalised tax, accounting, legal or financial advice, and it does not promise a tax outcome, a fee or a filing deadline that the firm has not approved.

On those calls it records the question clearly and passes it to your team. Please do not send tax records or passwords through our website forms.

An example call in deadline week

A caller asks whether their return will be filed on time and what it will cost. Sevai24 does not answer either question. It takes their details and the subject of the call so the firm can respond.

If they ask what the firm offers and whether a consultation is possible, Sevai24 answers from your approved information and, where booking is enabled, arranges one.

Questions from accountancy firms

Can Sevai24 answer the firm’s phone while accountants are in client work?

Yes, when your telephone routing sends those calls to Sevai24. The receptionist answers, describes your services from the information you have approved and takes the caller’s details.

Can it book a consultation?

Yes, once appointment handling is enabled for your firm. Otherwise it records the request so someone at the firm can follow up.

Will it answer tax questions?

No. It does not give personalised tax, accounting, legal or financial advice, and it does not promise a tax outcome, a fee or a filing deadline. It records the question and passes it to your team.

What about calls around tax deadlines?

When your team is busy, Sevai24 takes the caller’s details and the reason for the call so nothing is lost. It never commits the firm to a deadline or an outcome.

Sevai24 covers the phone and the advice stays with your firm. More questions about Sevai24
