Accounting firms – Here’s how to never miss a call, increase revenue and reduce admin tasks.
Tax season in Australia is a whirlwind. Phones ringing off the hook. Clients chasing their returns. New enquiries flooding in. The constant interruptions can destroy your focus, and your billable hours.
But what if every one of those calls could be handled perfectly… without you or your team lifting a finger?
Introducing Johnni.ai — Australia’s AI Voice Receptionist for Accountants
In our latest demo, Johnni.ai takes a call for an accounting firm during peak tax time. A new client rings in:
“Hi, good evening, you’re speaking with Gabby. Thanks for calling Those Calculations. How are you today?”
The caller, Paul, says he’s looking to get his tax return done. Gabby (powered by Johnni.ai) handles it from there:
-
Confirms he’s a new client
-
Initiates the sign-up and tax agent authorisation process
-
Sends him a link to complete it instantly
-
Confirms the message has been received
-
Finishes the call professionally
All of this happens without any human intervention.
