Document collection
๐Ÿ“‹
DocChaseโ„ข
Plan 3
โš™๏ธ Practice Ops
Multi-channel document collection engine. Sends client-specific checklists per engagement, follows up via email + SMS + portal simultaneously, escalates as filing deadlines approach. Doesn't stop until every document arrives.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI Snapshot5 staff ร— 2 hrs/day ร— 60 tax-season days ร— $45/hr = $27,000 in doc-chase labor. DocChaseโ„ข recovers 70%+ automatically.
Status update
๐Ÿ’ฌ
"Where's My Return?" Agent
Plan 1
โš™๏ธ Practice Ops
Sends proactive status updates to clients before they email asking. Knows which returns are in progress, waiting on docs, under review, or filed โ€” and tells each client in plain English without staff touching it.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotThe average CPA answers 15โ€“20 status requests per day during tax season. At 10 min each = 3 hrs/day eliminated. 60 billable hours returned per tax season.
Missing checklist
๐Ÿ“
"What Do You Still Need?" Agent
Plan 1
โš™๏ธ Practice Ops
Tells every client their specific missing items in conversational English โ€” via SMS, email, or WhatsApp โ€” before they call to ask. Never sends a generic template. Knows exactly what's missing per client per engagement.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotEliminates the most disruptive phone calls of tax season so your team can stay in deep work.
Deadline calendar
โฐ
DeadlineGuardโ„ข
Plan 5
โš™๏ธ Practice Ops
Every client, every entity type, every jurisdiction โ€” federal, state, local โ€” monitored 24/7. Clients reminded proactively. Staff alerted when missing docs jeopardize a filing. Extension alerts fire 30 days out. Nothing Drake or Lacerte does outbound.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotOne prevented IRS penalty = $500โ€“$5,000 saved. Multi-state filers: protection worth 10ร— that. One near-miss per year pays for the plan.
Capacity view
๐Ÿ‘ท
Staff Utilization Agent
TBD
โš™๏ธ Practice Ops
Real-time view of who is over or under capacity by engagement โ€” not just hours logged. Karbon tracks tasks, not capacity intelligence. Surfaces bottlenecks before they cause missed deadlines. Flags when one staff is drowning while another has bandwidth.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotPrevents the silent crisis where one person is at 130% while another is at 60% โ€” and the owner doesn't know until a deadline slips.
Extension filing
๐Ÿ“…
Extension Alert Agent
TBD
โš™๏ธ Practice Ops
Identifies every client who needs an extension 30 days out โ€” based on missing docs + deadline proximity โ€” and alerts the right staff with the specific action required. Not a calendar reminder. An intelligent early warning system.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotCatching a deadline miss 30 days out vs. 30 minutes out changes the entire outcome for the client and the firm.
Entity compliance
๐Ÿข
Entity Compliance Calendar
TBD
โš™๏ธ Practice Ops
Annual reports, registered agent renewals, state franchise taxes, BOI filings โ€” tracked across all client entities with proactive reminders. Drake and UltraTax track filing deadlines. They don't track entity compliance calendars.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotA missed BOI deadline is $500/day in penalties. A missed annual report can dissolve an LLC. Clients blame their CPA โ€” not themselves.
Email replies
โœ๏ธ
Policy-Aware Reply Agent
Plan 1
โš™๏ธ Practice Ops
Drafts email replies knowing your engagement letter terms, fee schedule, service scope, and client history. Not a template โ€” contextual. Knows what you have and haven't agreed to for this specific client. Prevents accidental out-of-scope commitments.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotCPA at $150/hr spending 2 hrs/day on email = $6,600/mo. Agent covers 70%. Net surplus: $5,328/mo.
Dashboard
๐Ÿ“บ
Tax Season Dashboard Agent
TBD
โš™๏ธ Practice Ops
Live view of every return's status: waiting on documents, in preparation, under review, filed, billed โ€” across your entire practice in one screen. No more asking staff for updates. No more guessing which returns are behind.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotReplaces the daily 30-min team status meeting during tax season. 60 days ร— 30 min = 30 hours of meeting time eliminated.
Engagement letter
๐Ÿ“„
Engagement Letter Agent
Plan 3
โš™๏ธ Practice Ops
New prospect converts โ†’ engagement letter generated in under 15 minutes using your templates, scope, fees, and terms pre-populated from the sales conversation. E-sign ready. Triggers automatically from your CRM when a deal is marked won.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI Snapshot4 hours โ†’ 15 minutes per engagement letter. At 5 new engagements/month, that's 23 hours returned monthly.

The Shieldโ„ข
Plan 2
๐Ÿ›ก Reputation
24/7 monitoring across Google, Yelp, Facebook, LinkedIn, and BBB. New review detected within 1 hour. AI reply drafted in your exact voice โ€” not a template. 1-click approve or auto-publish for 4โ˜…+. Root cause classification on every review.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI Snapshot$5,000/mo community manager replaced. One prevented 2-star crisis = 30 prospective clients who now call you instead of your competitor.
Crisis response
๐Ÿšจ
Crisis Alert Agent
Plan 2
๐Ÿ›ก Reputation
3-star or below: instant SMS and email to the managing partner with the specific review, the client's history, and a recommended recovery action โ€” phone call, fee adjustment, or in-person meeting. Alert arrives before the review spreads.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotCatching a 2-star in hour 1 vs. finding it 2 weeks later changes everything. Proactive recovery saves the client relationship and the next 30 who would have read that review.
NPS survey
๐Ÿ’ฌ
The Pulse Checkโ„ข
Plan 2
๐Ÿ›ก Reputation
NPS survey sent automatically 7 days after every filing. Detractors (0โ€“6) immediately alerted to the managing partner before they go to Google. Promoters (9โ€“10) routed to a review request with one-tap Google link.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotCatching one dissatisfied client before they post publicly protects 30 prospective new clients from choosing a competitor.
Review request
โญ
Post-Filing Review Request
Plan 2
๐Ÿ›ก Reputation
Triggers automatically at the moment of highest client satisfaction โ€” when the return is filed and they just got good news. Personalized request with one-tap Google and LinkedIn review links. Satisfaction threshold checked first.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI Snapshot30โ€“40% conversion lift vs. asking weeks later. 200 clients ร— 30% = 60 new reviews per year. Your Google profile transforms in one tax season.
Review amplification
๐ŸŒŸ
Review Amplification Agent
Social
๐Ÿ›ก Reputation
When a client sends a positive email or LinkedIn message, the agent responds warmly and asks: "Would you be willing to share that on Google? Here's the link." Converts existing praise into public reviews at the moment it was written.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI Snapshot3ร— more review conversions vs. asking months later. Your happiest clients are already writing about you โ€” this captures it publicly.
Directory management
๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ
The Mapmakerโ„ข
Social
๐Ÿ›ก Reputation
Google Business Profile, Yelp, LinkedIn, and accounting directories kept current and consistent 24/7. Hours, services, phone, photos โ€” monitored. New partner profiles created within 48 hours. Seasonal updates pushed simultaneously.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotNAP inconsistency hurts local SEO. Consistent profiles across directories directly impacts how many people find you when searching 'CPA near me.'
Value report
๐Ÿ“‹
Value Demonstration Report
TBD
๐Ÿ›ก Reputation
Monthly 1-pager auto-generated showing each client what you saved them, what penalties were avoided, what was filed, what's coming. Builds the case for fee increases before the client questions your invoice. Makes the invisible work visible.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotCPAs who send regular value summaries have 40% less fee resistance and retain clients 2ร— longer.
Client scoring
๐Ÿ”
Bad-Fit Client Identifier
TBD
๐Ÿ›ก Reputation
Scores every client by chronic late payment, deadline non-compliance, scope creep frequency, and support volume relative to revenue. Surfaces who consumes 40% of your time but generates 10% of revenue.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotFiring your 5 worst-fit clients frees 30% of your capacity for higher-value work. Most CPAs don't do this because they can't see the data clearly.

๐Ÿ“ก Social
Auto-publishes to LinkedIn (primary), Instagram, Facebook, and Google Business Profile โ€” scheduled at peak engagement windows for professional services audiences. Zero manual posting. Content approved โ†’ published everywhere simultaneously.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotReplaces $3,500โ€“$10,000/mo social media agency. Audience compounds every month โ€” value grows while cost stays flat.
DM conversion
๐Ÿ’ฌ
DM Conversion Agent
Social
๐Ÿ“ก Social
"Can you help with my S-corp?" DMs on LinkedIn and Facebook replied to in under 2 minutes, qualified, and routed to your calendar. Social interest that evaporates in an unmonitored inbox now enters your pipeline automatically.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotEvery unanswered DM is a warm lead that found someone else. A 2-minute response converts at 8ร— the rate of a 2-day response.
B2B content
๐Ÿค
B2B Referral Content Agent
Social
๐Ÿ“ก Social
Publishes targeted content aimed at attorneys, financial advisors, bankers, and business brokers โ€” "How to choose a CPA for your client's business sale" โ€” warming referral relationships before any direct outreach.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotOne attorney who refers consistently = 3โ€“8 new clients per year. Content warms the relationship before the phone call.
Tax updates
๐Ÿ“ข
Tax Law Update Broadcaster
Social
๐Ÿ“ก Social
When tax law changes โ€” new IRS guidance, TCJA updates, state changes โ€” the agent creates content explaining what it means for business owners and publishes it within 24 hours. You become the first CPA your followers hear it from.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotBeing first with relevant tax news drives inbound calls. 'I saw your post about the new rule โ€” does it affect me?' is a warm inquiry at zero acquisition cost.
GBP posts
๐Ÿ”
Google Business Profile Agent
Social
๐Ÿ“ก Social
Weekly posts to Google Business Profile โ€” the most underused channel for CPA local SEO. Tax tips, service announcements, seasonal reminders posted consistently. Active GBP profiles rank higher in local search. Most CPA firms never post once.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotMoving from page 2 to page 1 in 'CPA [city]' can mean 5โ€“15 new inbound inquiries per month at zero ad spend.

First contact
๐ŸŽฏ
The First Contactโ„ข
Plan 3
๐ŸŽฏ Acquisition
Every new client inquiry โ€” website form, phone, LinkedIn DM โ€” responded to in under 60 seconds, 24/7. Qualifies the prospect, books a consultation, sends intake paperwork. After-hours inquiries captured and responded to before your competitor opens.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI Snapshot8ร— conversion rate from 60-second response vs. next-day response. Every inquiry you don't respond to immediately goes to the next CPA on Google.
Lead follow up
๐Ÿ”„
The Follow-Throughโ„ข
Plan 3
๐ŸŽฏ Acquisition
Prospects who inquired but didn't book: Day 2 soft check-in, Day 7 value-add content, Day 14 specific slot offer, Day 30 final touch. 20โ€“30% conversion rate on leads that would otherwise go cold. Auto-stops the moment they book.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI Snapshot20 cold inquiries/mo ร— 25% conversion ร— $2,500 avg annual value = $12,500/yr from people who already raised their hand.
Referral management
๐Ÿค
The Connectorโ„ข
Plan 3
๐ŸŽฏ Acquisition
Manages 20 attorney, financial advisor, banker, and business broker referral relationships simultaneously โ€” with structured nurture cadences, new capability announcements, and project updates. One active attorney = 3โ€“8 new clients per year.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI Snapshot20 relationships managed systematically vs. through memory and occasional lunches = 2โ€“3ร— more actual referrals. A full-time relationship manager on autopilot.
Hot lead alert
๐Ÿ”ฅ
Hot Lead Idle Alert
Plan 3
๐ŸŽฏ Acquisition
Any qualified prospect who goes silent for 48 hours triggers an SMS to the responsible staff with full lead context, last interaction, and recommended next action. Hot leads don't go cold while your team is heads-down in tax returns.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotThe cost of one missed $3,000/yr client relationship due to slow follow-up = $30,000+ over 10 years. This costs nothing to prevent.
24/7 answering
๐Ÿ“ž
The Answering Machineโ„ข
Plan 1
๐ŸŽฏ Acquisition
Handles all inbound calls 24/7 โ€” books new client consultations, answers common questions, routes urgent matters, captures every after-hours call with zero voicemail backlog. The prospect who calls at 7pm gets booked before your competitor opens.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotReplaces 1โ€“2 phone operators ($42Kโ€“$52K/yr). 5 missed after-hours calls/week ร— 40 weeks ร— $2,500 avg = $500K in captured pipeline annually.
Scope creep
โš ๏ธ
Scope Creep Billing Alert
TBD
๐ŸŽฏ Acquisition
Detects when advisory calls, extra questions, or out-of-scope requests are happening and flags them for billing before the engagement closes. Monitors communication volume per client against their engagement scope. Makes the invisible work billable.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotThe average CPA gives away $8,000โ€“$15,000/yr in unbilled advisory calls and out-of-scope work. This agent makes it visible โ€” and billable.
Retainer billing
๐Ÿ’ณ
Upfront Retainer Automation
TBD
๐ŸŽฏ Acquisition
New engagement letter signed โ†’ retainer invoice automatically triggered and sent before any work begins. Combines e-sign confirmation with the payment request in one seamless flow. Eliminates the awkward billing conversation.

Inbox management
๐Ÿ“ง
The Front Deskโ„ข
Plan 1
๐ŸŽฏ Acquisition

๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotAdmin 2 hrs/day on email ร— 22 days ร— $22/hr = $968/mo. Agent handles 70% โ†’ saves $678/mo. Plan 1 cost: $1,197. Net positive before month 2.
CRM cleanup
๐Ÿ—„๏ธ
Cold Lead Archive Agent
TBD
๐ŸŽฏ Acquisition
Weekly sweep: leads 90+ days inactive classified, archived, and removed from active follow-up queues. Your team focuses only on live opportunities โ€” not dead leads from 2 years ago that clog the pipeline and create false confidence.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotA clean pipeline gives accurate forecasting. An inflated pipeline gives false confidence. This is as much about decision quality as time saved.

BillFlowโ„ข
Plan 2
๐Ÿ” Retention
Graduated AR collection: Day 7 friendly reminder with pay link, Day 14 payment plan offer, Day 30 overdue notice from the partner's name, Day 45 escalation with full history. Recurring retainer clients billed automatically. DSO drops 40โ€“60%.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI Snapshot10 clients ร— $2,000 avg invoice ร— 45-day terms = $20,000 float freed. $27,400 total cash flow acceleration. 2 hrs/week AR follow-up staff time eliminated.
Fee auditing
๐Ÿ”
The Auditorโ„ข
Plan 5
๐Ÿ” Retention
Compares every payment received against your engagement letter rates. Flags individual underpayments and systematic patterns โ€” clients who pay less than invoiced, service lines undercharged, scope creep never billed. Monthly underpayment recovery report.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotEven 1% systematic underpayment on $500K billing = $5,000/yr. Most CPAs have zero process to detect this. One detected pattern often reveals $10Kโ€“$20K recoverable.
Lapsed client winback
๐Ÿ”
The Retrieverโ„ข
Plan 4
๐Ÿ” Retention
Lapsed clients โ€” used you once and disappeared โ€” re-engaged with graduated sequences at 30, 60, and 90 days. Not a generic email. A specific, personal-sounding outreach from the partner's name that references their actual situation. 20% reactivation rate.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI Snapshot20% reactivation on 50 lapsed clients ร— $2,500 avg annual value = $25,000 recovered from people who already trusted you โ€” at zero acquisition cost.
Referral program
๐ŸŒŸ
The Ambassadorโ„ข
Plan 4
๐Ÿ” Retention
Identifies NPS 9โ€“10 promoters and sends personalized referral prompts at the exact right moment โ€” after filing, after a win, after a thank-you. Referred clients have 37% higher retention. Word-of-mouth, systematized.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotA client who refers one person per year is worth 2ร— their own annual fee. The Ambassadorโ„ข makes the ask every CPA forgets to make โ€” at the perfect moment.
Churn prevention
โš ๏ธ
Churn Prediction Agent
Plan 4
๐Ÿ” Retention
Monitors every client for disengagement signals โ€” hasn't logged into portal, missed deadline, reduced communication, mentioned a competitor โ€” and flags to the partner before they leave. A proactive call saves a client. A goodbye email rarely does.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotSaving 5 clients/year at $2,500 avg = $12,500 retained ARR. Over 5 years, that's $62,500 from clients who would have quietly left without this signal.
Upsell sequence
๐Ÿ“ˆ
Post-Engagement Upsell
Plan 4
๐Ÿ” Retention
After every tax filing: "Here are three things we could do this year to reduce your 2025 liability significantly." A structured, personalized upsell sequence introducing tax planning, bookkeeping retainers, and advisory โ€” at the moment the value is freshest.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotConverting 3 additional clients to $500/mo bookkeeping retainers after tax season = $18,000 new recurring ARR from clients already in your system.
Event trigger
๐ŸŽฏ
Life Event Upsell Trigger
TBD
๐Ÿ” Retention
Detects business events from client communications โ€” new hire, revenue milestone, entity change, real estate purchase โ€” and auto-flags the advisory opportunity. Client mentions "we just signed a commercial lease" โ†’ task created: "S-corp election opportunity."
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotAdvisory work triggered by life events closes at 3ร— the rate of cold proposals. The timing is everything โ€” and most CPAs miss it because they're too busy.
Touchpoints
๐Ÿ“ฌ
Year-Round Touchpoint Agent
TBD
๐Ÿ” Retention
Quarterly personalized check-ins for every client: Q1 estimated tax reminder, Q2 mid-year planning nudge, Q3 year-end prep, Q4 tax planning window. Each message references the client's specific situation โ€” not a newsletter blast.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotClients who hear from their CPA quarterly generate 40% more referrals and accept fee increases at 2ร— the rate of clients who only hear from you during tax season.

Plan 5
๐Ÿง  Advisory
Identifies which compliance clients are ready to become advisory clients โ€” before they ask. Surfaces the right clients for CFO services, tax planning, entity restructuring based on their financial patterns, business stage, and communication history. Makes advisory proactive.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotCPA Trendlines: 80% advisory revenue increase for firms with AI-integrated advisory. Advisory rates 40โ€“60% higher than compliance. Converting 10% of client base to advisory = transformative revenue shift.
Meeting prep
๐Ÿ“‹
Pre-Meeting Intelligence Brief
Plan 5
๐Ÿง  Advisory
Before every client meeting: a 1-page brief with recent financial activity, open items, last conversation summary, upcoming deadlines, and 3 specific advisory opportunities. Walk in knowing everything. Never scramble for context in the first 5 minutes.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotPartners who walk in with full context convert 2ร— more advisory conversations than those who catch up during the meeting. Preparation is the advisory product.
LTV scoring
๐Ÿ’Ž
Client LTV Engine
Plan 5
๐Ÿง  Advisory
Scores every client by predicted lifetime value โ€” fees, referrals, advisory potential, retention probability โ€” and surfaces which relationships deserve the most investment. Highest-LTV clients prioritized. Lowest-LTV clients flagged for repricing or exit.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotKnowing your top 20% of clients generate 80% of your profit changes every capacity and pricing decision you make.
Upsell sequences
๐Ÿš€
Service Tier Expansion Agent
Plan 5
๐Ÿง  Advisory
Structured sequences introducing higher-margin services โ€” CFO, fractional controller, tax planning retainer, business advisory โ€” to clients currently using only compliance services. Timed to business events. Not a service menu email. A relevant, timed proposal.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotConverting 5 tax-only clients to $500/mo advisory retainers = $30,000 new recurring ARR. Advisory rates are 40โ€“60% higher than compliance with the same client relationship.
Health monitoring

Practice Health Agent
Plan 5
๐Ÿง  Advisory
Daily monitoring of your practice's operational health: engagement letters current, retainers collected, no overdue filings, no unanswered threads older than 24 hours, no staff at 130%+ capacity. Surfaces operational risks before they become complaints.
๐Ÿ’ธ ROI SnapshotOne malpractice complaint costs $15,000โ€“$150,000 in defense costs and reputation damage. Operational health monitoring is the cheapest risk management available.
