A call in your business Illustrative conversation · responses depend on your setup **Caller** “Do you handle monthly bookkeeping for small businesses?” **Rinzo AI Receptionist** “I can explain our bookkeeping services and connect you with the team that discusses new accounts.” Next step **New-client team** Why the first answer matters ## Routine questions compete with focused work. A prospective client may only need to know whether you work with small businesses, offer payroll services, or meet remotely. Giving these questions a clear first answer helps your staff reserve conversations for the work that needs them. Use your own business facts, instructions, and documents to shape the conversation. When a caller asks for a person, Rinzo puts them through to a destination you configure. If that person can’t take the call, it takes a message for them. [How the AI Receptionist works →](https://rinzo.ai/ai-receptionist.md) The calls you know well ## What callers can get help with. ### Finding the right service Explain your tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, or advisory services from the descriptions you supply. Connect prospective clients to the colleague who handles new engagements. ### Getting ready for a meeting Share your general appointment preparation instructions and approved document-delivery process. Keep personal tax information and account records with your existing secure systems. ### Calls for the current team Route callers to their accountant, the payroll team, or the office. Questions about a return, filing status, or individual balance go to staff with the relevant records. Your information. Your way of working. ## Give it the details your callers need. Publish service descriptions that distinguish business and personal work. Update seasonal hours and your onboarding instructions when they change. Give new-client inquiries a clear destination so they do not depend on reaching an individual accountant. Start from the accounting-office template: rinzo receptionists template accounting-office drafts the greeting, instructions, common questions and destinations for an accounting office, with blanks for your own prices, hours and policies that you fill in and check before publishing. Upload PDF, Word, text, or Markdown documents, review their extracted text, and publish your updates when ready. ### Start with these details - Service descriptions and client types - Consultation and onboarding process - General document-delivery instructions - Team names and seasonal office hours Keep a route to a person or voicemail for questions that need more help. Beyond the first conversation ## The rest of your phone system is here, too. ### A shared office destination Let several available colleagues answer calls through a ring group.
