How Freed Accountancy Improved Client Response Times With ClientWindow

Freed Accountancy is a modern accountancy firm led by Director Mark Freed. Known for its approachable style and commitment to client satisfaction, the firm faced a growing challenge: outdated communication channels were slowing everything down. Clients were increasingly slow to respond to emails, and chasing them for documents like receipts or records meant repeated follow-ups that consumed valuable time.

‍

That changed with ClientWindow. Freed Accountancy now sees 80% of its new leads come through WhatsApp – bringing faster, simpler communication for both clients and the team.

The Challenge: Slow Email Replies and Inefficient Follow-Ups

Like many accounting professionals, Mark Freed had relied on email as the primary mode of client communication. However, this was no longer effective:

‍

• Clients were slow to respond, often requiring multiple reminder emails.
• Chasing records and receipts became time-consuming, impacting day-to-day efficiency.
• Potential new clients preferred instant messaging – but email made initial contact feel formal and slow.
• Disorganised threads and delayed replies reduced the firm’s ability to stay agile and responsive.

‍

Freed Accountancy needed a faster, more modern way to connect with both current clients and new leads – without compromising security or professionalism.

‍

The Solution: Integrating ClientWindow

ClientWindow offered exactly what Freed Accountancy needed: a secure, structured way to manage WhatsApp communications alongside existing email systems. After implementation, everything changed.

‍

Key Improvements With ClientWindow

• Centralised Communication: All client messages – whether through WhatsApp or email – were brought into one unified inbox. This made tracking conversations effortless, reducing the risk of missed messages.
• Instant, Secure Messaging: Clients responded faster through WhatsApp, and Freed Accountancy benefited from quicker turnaround on requests and questions.
• Reduced Email Dependence: With ClientWindow, the back-and-forth of email threads was dramatically reduced, freeing up time and improving organisation.
• Website WhatsApp Integration: A new WhatsApp button on the website allowed potential clients to get in touch directly, which eliminated friction and made the firm more approachable – especially for younger, mobile-first audiences.

The Result: Faster Responses, More Leads, and a More Efficient Practice

“ClientWindow has had a major impact on the way I communicate with my clients. Messages are instant, safe, and secure, and I’m getting faster replies. I use it every day – and I would highly recommend it to other accountants.” - Mark Freed, Director, Freed Accountancy

‍

Since adopting ClientWindow, Freed Accountancy has experienced a complete shift in how it communicates – with measurable results:

‍

• 80% of new leads now come via WhatsApp, thanks to the website integration.
• Time spent chasing client responses has been significantly reduced.
• The client experience has improved, especially for those who prefer messaging over email.
• Mark and his team are more organised, with fewer delayed conversations and missed deadlines.
