“I need an accountant” covers very different work.
Personal filings, bookkeeping and payroll need different staff and preparation.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you get started.
Can it flag an enquiry with a near deadline?
It can capture the date and caller’s concern for staff review. It must not promise a filing or work completion date.
Can it gather financial documents over the phone?
This example collects administrative context only. Sensitive financial records should use the firm’s approved secure process.
