Why do accountants need a phone answering service?

All accountants understand that strong customer relationships are key to a successful business. Clients put a lot of trust in your work to help with their finances. In a busy practice, trying to balance meeting clients and answering phone calls can distract from your workload and could potentially impact your business. At Best Reception we can reduce all of those stresses. We can answer your calls and manage your enquiries enabling you to focus on your work and have meetings undisturbed.

Our accounting clients benefit from knowing that all of their clients are being taken care of and without the distractions from ringing telephones. At a large corporation, having an in house receptionist balancing so many calls can be ineffective and could potentially lose you business.

At Best Reception we can ensure all calls are handled with care and efficiency. Having an extensive team for a fraction of the price would help all accountancy firms succeed and would not compromise the quality of your customer satisfaction. We take time to understand your business and its needs, to help provide the best customer service to your clients.

We can create diaries or use an existing one to make sure every client gets time to see you, and you get time to work more productively. Best Reception will give you the support and care you need to achieve the growth and success you wish for your business.

I've used Best Reception for around 1 year now. I've found the service superb. My customers comment on how cheerful and professional the call handling is. They are always looking to help and do their job better. How proficient Best Reception is at their job has even helped me from time to time with the extra details noted on conversations by the call handlers. Excellent service and well worth it's money.

I used Best Reception for 2 years during a particularly busy period when my location-based Reception was unable to use Cliniko as I moved away from a paper-based diary. Knowing someone would answer the telephone quickly, reliably and make bookings on my diary accurately while I was busy with patients was reassuring and took a load of stress off me. Any issues that arose were minor, quickly resolved with the team managers, communication was great. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to use them again - great service & good value for money.

Efficient and friendly service. 😊 Edit - 2021 a year later -Best reception continually give an excellent service and have been so supportive during this very difficult year. Also more recently I have had 2 patients in the last week comment what a pleasant receptionist I have - and how friendly helpful and clear she is. Well done best reception staff!
Foot Factor has been working with Best Reception for many years - they are an amazing team, very professional and always ready (and able!) to adapt to regular changes we make in our diary. Our clients appreciate an easy booking service, they're surprised not to find the receptionist at the clinic when they come for their appointment. We appreciate a small, friendly, dedicated team who really know Foot Factor well. Thank you!
