Clients reach you.
Even during tax season.
When call volume triples between January and March, rednea answers routine questions, books consultations, and chases missing documents — while your team focuses on closings and tax returns.
What is rednea for fiduciary firms?
rednea is an AI phone assistant that answers client calls at Swiss fiduciary firms 24/7, responds to standard questions about deadlines and documents, books appointments in your calendar, and routes complex matters to the responsible accountant — FADP-compliant with data hosted in Switzerland.
The tax-season reality
Why traditional phone solutions fail in fiduciary firms
Interruptions destroy client work
Every call pulls accountants out of focused work on annual closings or tax returns. Ten interruptions per day cost up to four productive hours.
University of California Irvine study
Temp staff are expensive — and unavailable
Qualified temps with fiduciary knowledge cost CHF 40–60/hour and are unavailable precisely when every firm is hiring: during tax season.
CHF 20–30k for 3 months full-time
Voicemail damages trust
Clients pay for personal advice and discretion. Voicemail signals overload — exactly what a client does not want to experience from their accountant.
What changes
How rednea relieves your fiduciary firm
No more missed client calls
Every call is answered immediately — Friday evening, Saturday morning, or during your crucial client meeting.
Appointments land in your calendar
rednea sees every accountant's availability and books tax consultations, annual reviews, and first meetings without a callback.
Discretion and compliance preserved
No client name is processed in the USA. Data residency in Switzerland — FADP and revFADP compliant.

Typical call scenarios
How rednea handles client calls in practice
Standard document question
Routine inquiry that used to bind an accountant for five minutes — now fully automated with a correct checklist by email.
Deadline extension request
rednea recognises the limits of automation: extensions = accountant decision. Clean handover, scheduled callback.
Annual review appointment
FADP, revFADP and professional diligence

Frequently asked
What accountants need to know before using rednea
Is rednea FADP-compliant for fiduciary firms?
Yes. All persistent client data is hosted in Switzerland. The revised FADP (effective 1 September 2023) and the GDPR are fully respected.
How fast does rednea learn our firm's specifics?
Initial setup takes about 30 minutes. We configure rednea with you: your top-20 client questions (deadlines, documents, contacts, processes), response scripts in German, French, and Italian, and calendar integration. After go-live you adjust scripts anytime in the dashboard — or we help with changes.
What happens with complex matters rednea cannot answer?
rednea is deliberately not designed to give tax advice. Whenever a matter exceeds standard information (extensions, specific deductions, audit questions), rednea captures name, callback number, and concern, and dispatches a task to the responsible accountant — by email, Slack, or Teams.
Do calls through rednea compromise professional confidentiality?
No. The accountant's professional confidentiality under cantonal tax law is preserved because rednea does not provide advice. Client data is encrypted at rest, only your team can access transcripts. Retention windows are configurable (default: 90 days), and every processing step is documented in the DPA.
Can we turn rednea off after tax season?
Yes. The contract is monthly and can be cancelled anytime, no minimum term. Many firms keep rednea running year-round because the relief is noticeable outside high season too — but that's your call.
Does rednea support Swiss German and French?
Yes. rednea understands Swiss German (all dialects) and replies in High German or Swiss Standard German. Additionally: French, Italian, English, and Spanish — crucial for clients in Romandy and Ticino and for international clients.
How many client calls can rednea handle in parallel?
rednea answers arbitrarily many parallel calls — no busy tone, no queue. That is the decisive difference from a single receptionist, especially during tax season.
Will rednea irritate my clients?
rednea introduces itself as an AI assistant at the start of the call — this is mandatory under FDPIC guidance. Acceptance depends on callers experiencing competent answers and fast handover to humans; younger clients in particular expect this kind of direct, digital contact anyway.
