AI chatbot for accountants that sorts enquiries before a partner sees them.

Two questions arrive before anyone has spoken to you: do you act for someone like me, and what do you charge. Your services page and your fee page answer both, up to the point where the answer turns into tax advice. Adoomi answers the published part — the business types you take on, the work you cover, how fees are structured, what switching firms involves — and stops flat at the rest. Ask it whether to incorporate and it says an accountant here has to look at that, then takes the details.

The everyday problem

The switching enquiry that lands after the shop shuts

Someone unhappy with their current accountant reads their own accounts in the evening, because that is the only time they get to. What they ask next is whether you are taking clients on, whether you act for a company as small as theirs, and what happens to the handover from the outgoing firm. None of it needs a chartered accountant to answer and all of it is already on your site — but by the time anyone reaches it on Monday, they have emailed two other practices.

What you get

Three jobs on your enquiry inbox, and one refusal.

01

Answer who you act for

Sole trader, limited company, partnership, landlord or contractor — answered from your own services page, in the enquirer's language, at any hour.

02

Capture the switch, not just a name

Business type, work wanted, bookkeeping software, year-end month, whether an accountant is already in place — the fields you set, taken before anyone rings back.

03

Refuse the tax question

Incorporation, VAT registration, allowable expenses, an HMRC letter: the assistant says an accountant here will look at it and passes the enquiry on, never an opinion.

Question coverage

What people type before they ever ring you

Business types, services, bookkeeping software, published fee structure, switching from another firm and what onboarding asks for — every one of them answerable from pages you already publish, with the tax questions passed to a named accountant.

Speaking introduction
ChatVoice
My accountant has gone quiet and my year end is coming up. Can you take over part-way through?
Taking over from another firm is set out on our onboarding page, including the clearance letter we send to the outgoing accountant and the records we ask you to bring across. I can pass this on with your year end noted — what is the best number?
Will I be fined if the accounts go in late?
Penalties and what to do about a late filing are for an accountant here, not for me — I would be guessing at your dates and your position. I will note the year end is close when I pass it over so the team can pick it up with you. Anything else you want them to see?

What a partner needs before the discovery call, asked up front

A discovery call that opens with 'so, tell me about the business' spends its first stretch on facts a form could have taken. Adoomi asks for the ones you choose: sole trader, limited company, partnership or LLP; the work wanted, from year-end accounts to VAT, payroll, CIS and personal tax; the software the books live in; the year-end month; whether an accountant is already in place. It prices none of it and books nothing — the set goes to whoever you named, and your team makes the call.

The evening someone decides to change accountant

Nobody switches accountants mid-morning. They decide it at night, after the invoice or the missed deadline that prompted it. Adoomi is reading from your pages at that hour and in the enquirer's own language, so who you act for, what you cover and how you charge all get answered while they are still on the site. A VAT question gets no more of an answer then than it would at your front desk: it becomes a captured brief and an email alert to whoever you named, waiting when the office opens.

Xero-or-Sage questions stop reaching chargeable people

The bookkeeping packages you work in, whether you file VAT under Making Tax Digital, what your onboarding pack asks a new client for, whether payroll and CIS are in scope, how your year-end process runs — all published, all asked over and over. Adoomi answers them from those pages, and re-reads the pages on a schedule and whenever you change one, so a rewritten services page reaches it without anyone rebuilding anything.

Before Adoomi
  • Fee-structure questions queue behind live client work until someone chargeable answers them.
  • People comparing three practices on a Sunday get their reply on Tuesday.
  • "Can you take over from my current accountant?" needs the same onboarding answer every time.
  • A VAT-scheme question arrives in the general inbox and sits there until a partner spots it.
With Adoomi
  • Published fee structures, services and software answered straight off the pages you already keep current.
  • Briefs arrive with entity type, work wanted, software and year-end month already on them.
  • Switching questions answered from your onboarding page, clearance explained before the call.
  • Tax questions leave the chat as an alert to the accountant you named, wording intact.

The tax questions it will not touch

The assistant answers from your services page, fee page and onboarding notes — nothing else. Sole trader or limited company, registering for VAT, whether an expense is allowable, what an HMRC letter means: none get an answer; each turns on facts only an accountant should weigh. It says so, captures the matter and a contact, and routes it — an email alert to whoever you named, or a WhatsApp handover carrying the enquirer's own words. None of this makes your practice compliant with anything.

01

Your pages, or nothing

Services, fee structure and onboarding come from your own site. There is no general tax knowledge behind it to fall back on, so an unpublished answer is declined.

02

The tax line

Structure, VAT registration, allowable expenses and HMRC letters get one reply every time: an accountant here will look at it. Then the brief goes to them.

03

No figures, no uploads

It asks for a contact and a description, never accounts or ID. The window takes no file uploads, so papers reach you only once someone has moved to WhatsApp with them.

04

EU-hosted, and out of the logs

Working papers stay yours and chat stays out of them: EU-hosted, GDPR export and deletion built in, no tracking cookies, nothing in the logs.

How it works

How an AI chatbot for accountants works.

01
Connect content
Point Adoomi at your services page, fee page and onboarding notes. Those pages are the whole of what it may say; anything unpublished it declines rather than guesses at.
02
Add the snippet
Set who gets what: year-end and VAT enquiries to whoever prices work, an HMRC letter to the tax partner, a fee complaint to the managing partner. Then add one line to your website.
03
Test & go live
Read the briefs, tighten what it asks, edit or block any answer. Publish a new fee schedule in January and the answers follow it: pages are re-read on a schedule and whenever they change.
FAQ

FAQs about AI chatbots for accountants.

Company-structure questions sit outside what the assistant may answer, because the right answer turns on figures and plans only an accountant should weigh. It replies that someone here will look at the position, captures the business type, the work wanted and a contact, and sends it to the person you named.

Why this matters

Behaviour set before go-live, not results after

No client numbers appear on this page because there are none worth quoting at you. What can be stated is how the assistant behaves in a practice: it answers only from pages someone at the firm approved, it declines every structure, VAT and HMRC question rather than most of them, and the enquirer's own wording travels with the handover instead of a summary of it. You read what it may say before a prospective client reads it.

The only source it answers from

Services, fee structure, software and onboarding come from pages you approved; anything else is declined rather than guessed at.

Enquiries captured while you are shut

Evening and weekend questions answered from your published pages and captured as briefs in the enquirer's own language.

Every tax question, at every hour

Structure, VAT and HMRC questions leave the chat as a brief for a named accountant — the assistant states no view on any of them.

Start free

Try it on a VAT question before a client does

Point Adoomi at your services page, your fee page and your onboarding notes, then type 'should I register for VAT?' into it yourself. It should decline, say an accountant here will look at it, and ask for your details. If it does anything else you change it before it goes live, because nothing is published until you have read it. The Free plan is £0 a month with 50 message credits, and connecting the site, reviewing the answers and adding one line to your website takes ~10 min.
