What is an accounting answering service?

First impressions matter. Whether you’re a bank, a credit union, a financial advisory firm, or an accounting practice, your clients want to feel cared for right from the very first “hello!” But being available to answer every phone call is a difficult thing to balance between client meetings, portfolio management, bookkeeping, or other administrative duties.

Not only does a missed call mean an ignored customer, but it can potentially be a missed opportunity for a new lead. That’s why businesses in the finance industry turn to an accounting answering service.

More than a standard business call center, our finance answering service always ensures that every call gets answered, clients receive instant customer service, every lead gets captured, and appointments get booked. It’s like having a dedicated virtual receptionist who never takes a minute off for you.
