Frequently Asked Questions

When should accounting firms survey clients?

After tax filing, at fiscal year-end, and once mid-season during peak periods. Timing surveys around deliverables captures the freshest feedback.

What questions should an accounting firm survey include?

Accuracy of work, timeliness, clarity of explanations, responsiveness and overall NPS. Keep surveys under 6 questions.

How can surveys help during busy tax season?

Mid-season pulse surveys catch declining satisfaction early — before clients decide to switch. Even a 2-question check-in makes a difference.

Can I compare satisfaction across different service lines?

Yes. Tag surveys by service type (tax, bookkeeping, advisory) and compare scores in the analytics dashboard.
