Chase missing tax documents from clients
The problem
In tax season, staff spend hours emailing clients about the same missing W-2s, 1099s and receipts, and returns stall while everyone waits.
How AI solves it
A client portal tracks what each client has uploaded, and AI drafts a personal checklist of exactly what's still missing, then sends polite automated reminders on a schedule until the documents arrive. Staff only step in for clients who stop responding.
