How do accounting firms manage client communication without drowning in emails?
In small accounting firms, staff juggle client communication, billing, time tracking, scheduling, and actual accounting work. During tax season, the email volume explodes. Clients ask "what's my refund status?" five times. Missing documents require 3+ follow-up emails each. And every email that goes unanswered for 24+ hours risks losing a client to a firm that communicates better.
