Clients expect an answer the same hour.Your team has more to keep track of than ever.

  1. 01

    Their other vendors reply fast now.

    A two-day reply reads as "they don't care."

  2. 02

    Every call ends in a summary full of promises.

    Nobody owns turning them into done.

  3. 03

    More accounts, same team.

    You're expected to grow the account list without adding coordinators.

Client work used to slip once in a while. Now it slips every week, and the client notices first.

Standups, spreadsheets and the CRMall depend on someone remembering.

  • Ask each rep in standupIt's from memory, and you become the bottleneck.
  • A coordinator with a spreadsheetStale by noon, and it leaves when they do.
  • The CRMIt shows what someone typed, not what the client asked.
  • ChatGPT or CopilotIt answers when someone asks. Your problem is what nobody asked about.
  • Hire another personIt adds another inbox with the same blind spot.

Every client,every document, one list.

  • Replies you owe. Every client question that needs an answer, longest wait first.
  • Waiting on the client. The signed letters and statements you're still chasing.
  • Deadlines. Filing and extension dates, before they slip.
  • Ask what was sent. "Did Brightwater get the 2025 return?" answered with the email behind it.

One client request, start to finish.Nothing reaches the client until you press send.

  1. 01

Does everyone at the firm get their own assistant?

Yes. On the team plan every partner and staff accountant gets their own alfred_, in their own email and calendar, on one firm bill.

Can it find whether a document went out?

Yes. Ask, like "did Brightwater get the 2025 return?", and it searches your sent mail and answers with the email it went out in, or says it found nothing.

Does it work with Outlook and Microsoft 365?

Gmail (including Google Workspace), Outlook (including Microsoft 365), iCloud and any inbox that signs in with IMAP. Up to six accounts a person, on one list.

Will it send anything to a client on its own?

No. alfred_ drafts the reply when you ask and shows it to you first. Email goes out when you send it, or from a rule you set up.

How is client email kept secure?

Connect with Google or Microsoft and alfred_ never sees your password. It has passed a CASA Tier 2 security assessment for Google's review, and nobody sees anyone's mail unless that person turns it on.
