Why this matters for accounting & bookkeeping
Client emails asking 'where's my refund?', 'what do you need from me?', and 'can you explain this letter from the IRS?' pile up during tax season. Most answers follow templates. AI drafting plus a simple FAQ chatbot keeps response times low without hiring seasonal admin.
When not to use AI here
Never let AI answer tax strategy, audit defense, or filing-position questions without CPA review. Keep anything that could create liability or malpractice exposure human-approved.
Your first week
- Day 1: Build a 20-question client FAQ from last season's inbox.
- Day 2: Enable website chat trained on that FAQ.
- Day 3: Use Claude to draft replies to three real client emails; partner reviews.
- Day 4–5: Roll out templated responses for the five most common questions.
