For tax accountancy firms

Fee enquiries pre-qualified instead of "What does a tax return cost?"

A structured online questionnaire captures the key data you need for a serious fee estimate under the German fee schedule: income types, turnover size, document volume. You respond substantively — at first contact.

1. Kontakt with all fee-relevant key data — instead of three phone calls

How fee enquiries run today

Enquiries without any key data

"What does a tax return cost with you?" — no income types, no turnover, no hint of rental or capital income. A serious answer is impossible, a flat answer unprofessional.

Long phone calls leading nowhere

Twenty minutes collecting key data on the phone — and in the end the prospect picks the firm that replied faster. Unpaid acquisition time nobody tracks.

The fee schedule needs the object value

Fees follow object value and fractional rates — without income and turnover figures you cannot even quote a range. Your website contact form asks for: none of it.

How Questee structures the enquiry

  1. 1

    Put the fee questionnaire on your website

    You define the value-relevant questions: private or business, income types, turnover and profit range, document volume, desired services (returns, bookkeeping, payroll). The link replaces or complements your bare contact form.

  2. 2

    Prospects answer guided questions

    One question per screen, plainly worded, with choice fields instead of jargon. Conditional logic shows business questions only to business owners — private individuals finish in three minutes.

  3. 3

    You respond substantively and fast

    Every enquiry reaches you with all key data — via e-mail notification and structured in the dashboard. You instantly see whether the engagement fits the firm and quote a serious fee estimate instead of a platitude.

Common questions on fee enquiries

May I even "offer" fees online?
The questionnaire quotes no fee — it gathers the key data you then use to calculate individually and in line with the fee schedule. You remain fully in charge of estimate and offer; the form only replaces the tedious data-gathering call, not your fee agreement.
Which details do I need for an estimate under the fee schedule?
Proven in practice: legal form or private/business status, income types (employment, rental, capital, trade), rough turnover and profit range, monthly document volume and desired scope. That narrows the object value and lets you quote an honest range — which is all a prospect wants at first.
Does a questionnaire not scare prospects off?
Experience says the opposite: anyone answering five questions is serious — and self-selects. Bargain hunters merely price-shopping drop off; serious prospects appreciate that you work in a structured way before they are even a client. Those are the ones you want.
Are prospects' details GDPR-safe?
Yes — income and turnover details are sensitive, which is why Questee hosts exclusively in Germany, transfers encrypted and provides the Art. 28 GDPR DPA. As a professional bound by statutory confidentiality you can document this cleanly in your privacy policy — without a US-cloud footnote.
How is this different from my website's contact form?
Your contact form delivers name, e-mail and a free-text box — exactly the enquiry you can do nothing with. The Questee questionnaire walks through the value-relevant points, branches by situation and hands you a complete, comparable record per prospect.
Can I maintain the questionnaire without coding skills?
Yes — you edit questions, options and branches in the visual editor. When your service range changes (say, new payroll engagements), you adapt the form in minutes. AI generation helps with the first draft.
Will I know when an enquiry arrives?
Yes — by e-mail notification the moment the prospect submits. Speed wins engagements: replying the same day with a substantive estimate beats the firm whose contact-form e-mail sits in the inbox for three days.
