Relay Accounting™

Tax season shouldn't cost you the clients you already paid to reach

See It Come to Life

Watch a lead go from first call to booked appointment

Watch Relay answer the call, qualify the lead, and book the job, so you can see what a full revenue department on your side looks like.

The Problem

During tax season, accounting firms experience 5 to 10 times normal call volume. Phones go to voicemail, emails pile up, and prospective clients call the next firm on Google. Firms lose new client inquiries during peak periods simply because they can't respond fast enough.

The Relay Solution

Relay answers every inquiry instantly, qualifies tax prep vs. audit vs. advisory needs, collects basic financial context, and books consultations directly into partner calendars. During tax season, Relay scales automatically to absorb seasonal call spikes without hiring seasonal staff.

Tax Season Surge Handling

January through April, call volume explodes. Relay scales instantly, answering every call, qualifying every prospect, and booking every consultation without hiring.

Service Line Qualification

Relay distinguishes tax prep from audit representation from business advisory, routing each inquiry to the right partner or department automatically.

Document Collection Automation

Guides new clients through the document checklist, sends reminders for missing items, and ensures preparers have everything they need before the consultation.

Off-Season Client Reactivation

During slow months, Relay proactively reaches out to past clients for tax planning, entity restructuring, and advisory services, smoothing out seasonal revenue.

The April 12th Voicemail

The client called on April 12th. You called back on the 19th.

A small business owner with a messy set of books calls on April 12th, hoping to be squeezed in before the deadline. The call rings out. They call the firm down the street, get an answer, and book. Your voicemail is still sitting there on the 19th.

Answered: Relay answers on the first ring, even at the peak of tax season when every line is busy.
Qualified: Relay works out whether this is tax prep, audit representation, or advisory work and routes it to the right partner.
Prepared: Relay walks the new client through the document checklist and chases anything missing before the consultation.
Booked: The consultation lands in the right partner's calendar, and the firm down the street never gets the call.
