1. What is Unified Communication (UC) for accounting firms?

UC merges calling, video, messaging, and file sharing into one secure platform—streamlining client communication, approvals, and internal collaboration.

2. How does UC improve client responsiveness during busy seasons?

Presence, shared inboxes, and mobile apps route calls and messages to the right CPA instantly—reducing voicemail tag and speeding client turnaround.

3. Can UC integrate with our practice management or tax apps?

Yes. We integrate UC with tools like Microsoft 365, document portals, e-signature, and case/workflow systems for smoother handoffs.

4. Is Unified Communication secure enough for financial data?

We configure encryption, MFA, role-based access, and retention policies to protect PII and meet accounting data privacy expectations.
