Conversations don't stop halfway.

Managing conversations across WhatsApp, website and social media

M1-Bot brings all messages into one place so teams don't need to switch between apps or miss enquiries from less visible channels.

Problems Handling Accounting Enquiries

Accounting firms receive client enquiries throughout the year.

They come from different channels and are handled by busy accounting and administrative teams. When messages come from multiple places and are handled manually, small gaps start to appear. Over time, these gaps turn into real business problems.

Seasonal enquiry spikes overwhelm teams

Tax season and financial year-end bring a surge of client messages through WhatsApp, the website and social media. Teams struggle to keep up with the volume while managing existing client work.

Repetitive tax and service questions consume time

Clients ask about tax filing deadlines, service offerings, pricing, document requirements and basic processes. Accountants and staff spend time answering the same questions instead of focusing on client deliverables.

Client onboarding is handled manually

Every new client requires manual collection of business information, tax details and documentation. This administrative work delays engagement and takes time away from billable work.

Appointment overload during peak periods

Consultation and review scheduling becomes chaotic during tax season. Back-and-forth coordination overwhelms teams and clients face long wait times.

Messages outside office hours go unanswered

Clients often message in the evening or on weekends, especially near tax deadlines. Replies come late or not at all, creating client frustration.

Conversation history is hard to track

When a different team member takes over, past conversations are missing or unclear. Clients have to repeat their business details and service requirements.
