Outbound: the agent calls

"Your return is ready to sign" calls

Finished returns sitting unsigned can't be filed. She calls the moment the preparer marks one done, books the pick-up or sends the authorization to sign from home, and the return goes out.

When it starts

A preparer marks a return reviewed and ready for the client.

What the agent does

Calls with the news, books pick-up or e-signs the authorization, takes payment.

What your team gets

Returns signed and e-filed days sooner, and fewer "is mine done?" calls.

How it works

  1. Sees it's done

    A return moves to ready in your tax software, and her call goes out within the hour, in calling hours.

  2. Gives the headline

    Refund or balance owing, in the figure the preparer wrote on the file. Questions about why go to the preparer.

  3. Offers two ways

    Pick up and sign at the office, or sign the e-file authorization from their phone.

  4. Takes payment

    Your fee from the invoice, by the payment link, or at pick-up.

  5. Books the pick-up

    A time window for couples who sign together, and a reminder text the day of.

  6. Keeps calling until signed

    A text and a second call if it isn't signed in the days you set, because unsigned means unfiled.

Example call

  1. AI agentHi Darnell, it's Emma from Northend Tax. Good news, Rita finished your return. Is now okay?
  2. CustomerYeah! Am I getting anything back?
  3. AI agentRita has a refund of 1,214 dollars on your file. To file it, we need your signature on the authorization. I can text it to you to sign from your phone, or you can come in.
  4. CustomerText it, please.
  5. AI agentSending now, with the payment link for the 85 dollar fee. Once you sign, Rita files it the same day.
  6. CustomerDone. Just signed it.

After the call: The signed authorization lands on Darnell's file, the fee is paid, and Rita e-files his return that afternoon.

What your team gets

  • Clients called within the hour of a return being ready
  • Authorizations signed by phone or at pick-up
  • Fees paid before the return is released
  • Unsigned returns followed up until they're filed
  • A daily list of ready returns still waiting on a client
Set up with you: The team sets up a connection to your tax software, e-signature tool and payment link, and sets with your preparers which figures she may read and how often to follow up.

Questions

Will she explain why someone owes?

No. She reads the figure on the file and books a call with the preparer for any questions.

What about couples?

She can send each spouse their own authorization, or book a pick-up window for both.

Can clients pay by phone?

She sends your payment link by text, and the file shows when it's paid.
