Your Software. Your Workflow.
An AI receptionist for accountants answers every client call automatically, day and night, and books straight into your diary using the practice management software you already run. It is configured around Xero, IRIS, Karbon and Bright, so a client query gets logged against the right file rather than scrawled on a message pad. For practices that lose calls to voicemail during deadline season, that is the difference between a client staying and a client calling the practice down the road.
Built around deadline season, not just office hours
Every accountant knows what the phone does in the run up to 31 January. Making Tax Digital has added to that pressure. MTD for Income Tax became mandatory from 6 April 2026 for sole traders and landlords over the qualifying income threshold, according to GoCardless’s 2026 MTD guide, with quarterly filing deadlines now falling on 7 August, 7 November, 7 February and 7 May every year, as set out by RentalBux’s MTD deadline breakdown.
That is four more spikes in call volume a year than practices had before, on top of the January rush.
An AI receptionist answers every one of those calls, in hours or out of them, so a filing deadline does not mean a queue of clients you cannot get back to until the following week.
Why Accountants Choose STAXX AI Receptionist
Configured around the software you already use
Your AI receptionist connects to Xero, IRIS, Karbon or Bright, whichever your practice runs on, so a call gets logged against the right client file automatically.
No separate message pad, no retyping notes into the system at the end of the day. It fits how your practice already works rather than asking you to run a second process alongside it.
Never miss a new client enquiry again
A prospective client calling three practices and getting voicemail at one of them tends to go with whoever picked up.
Your AI receptionist answers every enquiry call, takes the details, and gets the lead into your pipeline before the caller has tried a second number.
What it handles for existing clients
Routine queries, appointment booking, and document requests get handled without a partner or a senior member of staff picking up the phone.
Deadline reminders and status questions, the calls that eat an afternoon in January, get answered automatically, with a clean summary landing in your inbox rather than a stack of message slips.
A build specific to your practice
This is not a generic answering tool with an accountant shaped label on it. We configure the script, the integrations and the escalation rules around how your practice actually takes calls.
Once workflow and CRM automation for accountants is live, the same AI receptionist pairs with automated client onboarding so a new enquiry can move from first call to onboarded client without manual handoffs.

Questions Accountants Ask
It answers incoming calls automatically, holding a natural conversation rather than a menu system. For an accounting practice, it is configured to recognise common client queries, such as document requests or filing status questions, take a message where a human needs to call back, and book appointments straight into your diary.
We configure it against Xero, IRIS, Karbon and Bright, whichever your practice runs on. Calls and enquiries get logged against the correct client file automatically, rather than sitting separately from your practice management system.
Yes, that is one of the main reasons practices bring it in. It answers every call the same way whether it is a quiet Tuesday or the week before a filing deadline, so a spike in volume does not mean clients sitting in a queue or hitting voicemail.
No. It takes the repetitive first contact work, routine queries, message taking, appointment booking, off your team's plate, particularly outside office hours. Your staff stay focused on the calls that actually need a person, rather than every call that comes in.
Pricing depends on call volume and which systems it needs to connect to. Our AI receptionist cost guide breaks down UK pricing by tier, including where a configured build for a regulated profession like accountancy tends to sit.
Call handling and data storage follow UK GDPR requirements, including how call recordings and client data are stored and for how long. Given the sensitivity of financial information, compliance requirements are built into the configuration from the start rather than added on afterwards. We can talk through the specifics for your practice during setup.
