Group playbook

The Accounting Doc

our CPA firm in Pickering, Ontario

How WATI fits at The Accounting Doc

Tax season at a CPA firm means the phone rings while every accountant is in a file. Missed calls were costing new clients.

  1. WATI (whatsApp Business API inbox and campaigns) answers the line, takes the name, the question and the best time to call back.
  2. Each message lands in the firm's CRM as a contact with a task for the right person.
  3. Existing clients are recognised and routed to their accountant's queue; new enquiries get a quote link straight away.

What changed: Nobody waits on hold during tax season, and no enquiry disappears into a voicemail.

Lesson: Decide what the agent must never say (tax advice) before you decide what it can say.

Group playbook: how this job is set up across the Adnan Feroz Group companies. The method, not measured results.
