What the phone looks like for a Stoke-on-Trent accountancy practice
Stoke-on-Trent and the wider Staffordshire has a population of around 370,000, built on ceramics, logistics and a large base of family run trades. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a accountancy practice working across Hanley, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Longton most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A business owner switching accountants makes one round of calls and engages whoever answered and quoted.
Callwise answers on your own 01782 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Stoke-on-Trent accountancy practices ask us
Do we keep our 01782 number?
Yes. Your existing 01782 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Stoke-on-Trent customers reach you changes.
Do you work with accountancy practices outside Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Stoke-on-Trent and everywhere across Staffordshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
What about January?
The last two weeks of January produce more calls than the previous two months, and most practices simply cannot answer them. Those are new clients as well as panicking existing ones.
Can it quote fees?
From your guide, by turnover and company type, which qualifies the enquiry before it reaches a partner.
Will it give tax advice?
None whatsoever. It gathers facts and books the call.
