AI Answering Service for CPAs
You're not getting 50 calls a day, but when a business owner calls looking for a new accountant, that's a $50,000+ lifetime client. Trillet screens every caller, captures tax situation details, and books consultations, so you never miss the whale because you were buried in returns.

Your Client Screening Process, Executed Perfectly. Every Time.
You don't need an AI to say 'we'll call you back.' You need one that knows whether a caller needs tax prep, bookkeeping, or business advisory, and whether they're a $300 individual return or a $10,000 S-Corp engagement. Trillet follows your exact screening logic and captures everything you need to close.
Identify
Trillet identifies whether this is an existing client or new potential client, takes a message or transfers for existing clients, and continues to screening for new ones
Screen
Trillet screens for service needs (tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, business formation, audit support, financial planning), client type (individual, small business, corporate), confirms it aligns with your specializations, and politely declines if there's no fit
Qualify
Trillet asks your custom intake questions - entity type, annual revenue, tax situation complexity, current software/systems, deadlines/urgency, industry-specific needs, and your other practice-specific questions
Book
If they want to move forward, Trillet texts your booking link, you get a complete summary with client needs and transcript, and the consultation appears in your calendar with full context

What CPAs and Tax Professionals Are Saying
During tax season, I was in back-to-back client meetings when a business owner called asking about S-Corp election and tax planning. Trillet qualified them, $2.5M in revenue, complex entity structure, exactly my ideal client. By the time I finished my meeting, they had a consultation booked. That client is now worth $15,000 a year. I would have missed that call entirely.

Why Missing One Call Can Cost You More Than You Think
Voicemail
A business owner looking to switch accountants won't leave a voicemail. They call the next CPA on Google, and by the time you call back, they've already scheduled a consultation with your competitor.
Result: A $50,000+ lifetime client gone before you knew they existed.
Generic AI
They take a name and number. No entity type. No revenue range. No reason for switching. You call back blind, and the prospect has already talked to a CPA who asked the right questions.
Result: You're playing catch-up with incomplete information.
Trillet
We screen for service fit, capture entity type and revenue level, understand why they're calling, and book them directly into your calendar. You get a complete brief before the consultation even starts.
Result: High-value clients captured and qualified while you focus on the work that requires your expertise.

Common Questions from CPAs and Tax Professionals
An AI answering service answers your phone 24/7, screens potential clients for service fit, captures tax situation and business entity details, and helps them book consultations, without a human receptionist. Unlike voicemail or basic answering services that just take messages, Trillet runs your full client qualification process so you only spend time on clients who are ready to engage.
Accounting isn't a high-volume phone business, and that's exactly the point. You might only get 5-15 leads per week during tax season. But each of those calls could be a $2,000-10,000/year business client who stays for a decade. At $29/month, Trillet costs less than a single Google Ads click. One captured lead pays for years of service.
Trillet follows a four-step screening process: First, it identifies whether the caller is a new prospect or existing client. Second, it screens for service type (tax prep, bookkeeping, business advisory). Third, it asks your custom intake questions (entity type, revenue range, reason for calling). Finally, if qualified, Trillet texts them your calendar booking link. You receive a full summary before the consultation.
Yes. Trillet asks qualifying questions you define, including entity type (LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, sole proprietor), approximate revenue, and what's prompting the inquiry. This helps you prioritize high-value leads and prepare for consultations.
Trillet will politely explain that your practice doesn't offer that specific service and end the call professionally. You'll still receive a summary so you know who called.
Tax season is when Trillet is most valuable. When you're buried in returns and can't answer, Trillet screens callers, captures their tax situation, and books them into your calendar. Urgent matters (IRS notices, audit letters, filing deadlines) can be flagged as priority.
Listen for yourself, we have a demo above. Trillet is designed for natural, professional conversation that matches the tone of your accounting practice. Many callers don't realise they're speaking with AI.
Yes. Our Pro plan includes integration with QuickBooks, Xero, TaxDome, Karbon, Canopy, Practice Ignition, and other accounting tools. Contact our team to set this up for your practice.
Trillet starts at $29/month with a 30-day money-back guarantee. That's less than a single 'CPA near me' Google Ads click. Compare that to the lifetime value of one business client ($25,000-100,000 over 5-10 years) and the math is simple: one captured lead pays for a decade of Trillet.
Yes. Trillet uses bank-level encryption for all calls and data. You control what questions are asked and what information is collected. We take client confidentiality as seriously as you do.
Stop Losing the Clients Who Matter Most.
You don't need 50 calls a day to justify Trillet. You need insurance against missing the one call that could be worth $50,000 over the next decade. Set it up before tax season, and never wonder 'what if' again.
