Payment & Invoice Reminder Calls Built for Tax Preparation Services

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Yes — Payment & Invoice Reminder campaigns are designed for exactly this: calls a few days before an invoice is due, with follow-up if it goes unpaid. Because these are your existing clients, consent records are typically straightforward, and we review list source and consent before quoting the campaign. The script, disclosure, and escalation path are approved by you before anything launches.","question":"Can AI reminder calls be used to collect unpaid tax preparation fees from existing clients?"},{"answer":"Every call includes an AI disclosure — recipients can ask if the call is AI-assisted, request a human, or opt out. Keyword opt-outs like STOP and REVOKE are honored immediately, and DNC requests are respected across all campaigns and carried into your DNC records. If a client needs a real conversation, the escalation path transfers them to your team live or routes the request to your CRM.","question":"How do you handle clients who get upset about an automated collection call?"},{"answer":"Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, with the rate agreed before launch and locked for the campaign. Most campaigns add a one-time setup and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted upfront. There are no per-seat charges, no platform bill, and no minimums you didn't choose — and the first campaign review is free, so you know the full number before approving launch.","question":"What does a payment reminder campaign cost for a small tax preparation office?"},{"answer":"The process starts with a free campaign review where we scope one clear goal, review your list and consent records, and connect outcomes to your CRM. You then approve the script, disclosure, opt-out handling, and escalation path. Nothing launches until you approve, but once approved, calls run in your approved windows with outcomes monitored in real time — typically fast enough to fit within a single billing cycle.","question":"How quickly can we launch reminder calls before our next billing cycle?"},{"answer":"A temp adds headcount, training time, and per-seat overhead during your most capacity-constrained months. Our managed service means you buy campaigns that we run for you — no per-seat charges and no platform bill. You get structured campaigns with disposition-coded outcome reports, compliance handling including AI disclosure and TCPA-treated artificial voice rules, and a rate locked before launch. Seasonal staffing shortages stop dictating whether your invoices get followed up.","question":"Why use a managed calling service instead of hiring a temp to make collection calls during tax season?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free campaign review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Tell us the goal — e.g., 'remind clients with invoices due in 5 days and follow up on unpaid ones.'

Instead of pulling enrolled agents away from e-filing and 1099-NEC deadlines during the January–April crunch, our managed campaign places the payment reminder calls for you — a few days before the due date, with follow-up calls if the invoice remains unpaid. Calls run within approved calling windows and are monitored in real time, with confirmed payments and follow-up requests routed straight into the CRM and scheduling tools you already use.

Your billing team knows precisely which clients confirmed payment, which need a second touch, and which were referred back to your staff — the kind of clean, verifiable reporting a tax practice's reputation depends on.","proof_point":"The rate is locked before launch and does not move mid-campaign — starting at 9¢ per connected minute, so the full campaign cost is known before you approve."}],"features":["Payment reminder calls placed a few days before the invoice due date, with follow-up if unpaid","Speed-to-lead follow-up calls on new leads within minutes inside approved windows, with after-hours leads queued for the next business day","Hot items transfer to your team live or land in your CRM, with bookings and follow-up requests routed to your existing tools","Named outcome reports with disposition codes (confirmed, qualified, opted out, no answer) and per-call notes","AI disclosure on every call with keyword opt-outs like STOP and REVOKE honored immediately","Multi-language outbound campaigns available, with Spanish the most common option"],"headline":"Unpaid invoices shouldn't eat your tax season margins","problems":[{"icon":"Clock","stat":"40%","color":"from-red-500 to-pink-500","title":"January–April busy season leaves zero bandwidth for collections","description":"Tax season compresses everything. From January through April, your enrolled agents and preparers are heads-down on e-filing, refund status questions, document chasing, and 1099-NEC filing deadlines — while the invoices you sent for last year's preparation work sit uncollected.

When staffing is tight, every hour goes to billable return work — and payment follow-up calls on unpaid preparation fees, 1099 filing service work, or corporate tax preparation engagements are the first task cut. Hiring a part-time collections person for a four-month crunch rarely pencils out at a $176 average service price."},{"icon":"DollarSign","stat":"20.2%","color":"from-yellow-500 to-green-500","title":"Unbilled and unpaid work quietly erodes a 20.2% margin","description":"Industry profit margins average 20.2% — thin by any standard. Every uncollected preparation fee comes straight out of that margin. A handful of unpaid invoices for income tax filing or tax advisory services can erase the profit from dozens of completed returns.
