Home / Client Communication, Portals & AI Receptionists
16 toolsSecure client portals and messaging built for accounting firms, AI email assistants, and AI phone receptionists that answer when the firm can't.
Two problems, one category. The first is the phone: ten tools here answer a firm's calls around the clock, screen new clients, book consultations and text the summary, from Dialzara at $29 a month and Integra's fully managed service at $38 to Rosie, Trillet, My AI Front Desk, SchedulingKit, JustCall and the human-plus-AI services Abby Connect, Posh and Ruby, where live receptionists take the calls the AI shouldn't. Every one of them is listed because its own site names accounting, CPA or tax firms as the customer.
The second problem is everything that isn't a call: Liscio, SuiteDash, Assembly, Moxo and CCH Axcess Client Collaboration are secure portals where clients message, upload, sign and pay, with AI drafting replies, filing uploads and chasing what's missing, and Virtualworkforce.ai triages the firm's inbox inside Outlook or Gmail. Prices start at $19 per user per month for Liscio and SuiteDash, Assembly has a free plan, and the receptionists price by minutes, so the listing's note tells you what a plan's minutes cover before you add it to the tax-season budget.
Featured spot open. Put your tool at the top of this category for $149/month.
