Tax season brings a wave of phone calls to every advisory firm. Clients want to know which documents to submit, what the current filing deadlines are, whether their tax return has been processed, and how to reduce their bill next year. Most of these questions are answerable without a qualified advisor — but they still land on the same phone line as your complex, high-value client work. RufLab separates the routine from the urgent, handles the former automatically, and makes sure the latter always reaches the right person.
