Client intake + onboarding

Lead form → instant SMS auto-reply → intake-form delivery 48h before consultation → engagement-letter signature → onboarding sequence. Each step writes back to your practice management system.

Tax season + filing-deadline reminders (CPAs)

Missing-doc chasers, deadline reminders, refund-status updates. 40–60% fewer "where's my return" calls during peak season. Bulk send with per-client variables (filing status, missing forms).

Audit-trail-ready compliance

Every send + reply logged with timestamps + advisor. Satisfies state-bar documentation requirements for documented client consent to SMS communication.

Common professional services workflows

Real flows law firms, CPAs, and consultants ship with Texter — with the typical impact each returns.

Consultation reminder — 24h + 1h

24h: "Reminder: consultation with {advisor_name} tomorrow at {time}. Office: {address}. Reply C to confirm, R to reschedule, or call {phone}." → 1h: "See you in 1 hour. Conf room: {room_number}. Free parking: {parking_info}."

Cuts consultation no-shows 40–60%. The 1h-before reminder is the strongest single driver.

Document signature with reminder cadence

"Hi {first_name}, your {document_name} is ready for signature. Sign here: {docusign_link}. Takes 2 minutes. Questions? Reply or call {phone}." → 24h: "Friendly reminder — {document_name} still needs your signature: {link}" → 7d: "Final reminder before we follow up by phone: {link}"

Documents signed 2× faster than email-only. Most signatures happen within 4 hours of the initial SMS.

Invoice + AR reminders

On send: "Invoice #{num} attached, due {date}. Pay online: {pay_link}. Questions? Reply or call {phone}." → 3 days before due: "Friendly reminder: invoice #{num} (${amount}) due in 3 days." → 7 days overdue: "Invoice #{num} is now 7 days past due. Pay here: {link}, or reply HELP to discuss payment options."

Typical DSO reduction: 25–40%. Highest-ROI workflow for billable-hour firms.

CPA tax season — missing document chaser

"Hi {first_name}, we're working on your {tax_year} return and still need: {missing_documents}. Reply with photo/scan, or upload: {portal_url}. Filing deadline {deadline}. Need help? Call {phone}."

Cuts the typical 3–5 day delay-on-missing-docs problem in half. Reduces firm-wide April-overtime hours significantly.

Professional services FAQs

What managing partners and operations leads ask first.

SMS can be used for transactional client communication — appointment reminders, document-pickup notifications, court-date reminders, billing/invoice reminders. But anything substantive about a case (legal advice, strategy, privileged information) should stay in your secure client portal or encrypted email. Most state bar associations have specific guidance — California, New York, and Florida bars all require that attorneys document client consent to SMS communication and avoid case-substantive content via unsecured channels. Texter's audit trail satisfies the documentation requirement.
