Client communication

Client communication covers everything a bookkeeper says to a client after the work starts: the monthly questions, the report that goes with each close, review meetings, email templates, admitting an error and dealing with clients who never reply. The posts give wording you can reuse and the habits that keep answers coming back on time. Start with Ask My Accountant List: Batch Client Questions Monthly, which turns scattered questions into one monthly message.
