Client Status Communication for Small Business Tax Preparers

The Problem

Small Business Tax Preparers field the same 'where is my return' / 'did you get my docs' emails all day, and the ones who don't get answers within a few hours churn to a faster firm.

What We Build

AI drafts personalized status replies from the live matter state in UltraTax CS, surfaces anything the client is blocking, and escalates tax-sensitive questions to a human — response time drops from hours to minutes.
