Why Choose Us
We craft a bespoke lead scoring model that dissects prospect data like a forensic accountant reviewing ledgers. Unlike off-the-shelf tools that treat all leads equally, our system integrates your firm's unique criteria—such as income thresholds, audit history signals, and jurisdiction-specific tax risks—into a predictive engine. This ensures only qualified leads, those primed for retainer agreements on intricate matters like estate planning or international deductions, reach your attorneys. Built on robust frameworks, it's scalable for growing practices and fully owned by you, eliminating subscription dependencies.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Revenue with Precision Scoring
Accelerate High-Value Client Onboarding
Accelerate High-Value Client Onboarding: Focus your team's expertise on leads scoring 8+ out of 10, those with complex needs like multi-state nexus determinations or cryptocurrency reporting under IRS Notice 2014-21. Firms using our system report a 45% faster conversion from inquiry to signed engagement letter within 30 days, freeing up to 20 hours weekly for billable work on estate planning or M&A tax structuring.
Fortify Compliance in Every Lead Interaction
Fortify Compliance in Every Lead Interaction: Our model embeds IRS guidelines, FINRA regulations, and state-specific rules like New York's Article 9-A into scoring algorithms, automatically red-flagging leads with potential FBAR non-disclosure issues. This reduces regulatory exposure by 60%, as evidenced by benchmarks from similar financial practices handling SEC-registered advisors, ensuring your firm stays audit-proof against IRS examinations.
Boost ROI on Marketing Spend
Boost ROI on Marketing Spend: By prioritizing leads based on predictive conversion likelihood—drawing from historical data on tax season surges and Form 1065 partnership filings—your PPC campaigns targeting CPAs and referral networks from wealth managers yield 3x higher returns. Attorneys see a 30% uplift in retainer fees from scored prospects, averaging $15K+ per engagement, within six months of implementation.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our intake team was buried under vague inquiries about basic Schedule A deductions, eating into our prep for the April 15 deadline. Their custom scoring now filters for clients with real estate 1031 exchanges or S-corp tax complexities—we closed three $50K+ retainers in the last quarter alone, all from high-scoring leads flagged for multi-jurisdictional issues."
Sarah Kline
Senior Tax Partner, Kline & Associates LLP
"We handle a lot of cross-border tax work for expats, and generic tools couldn't distinguish serious clients needing Form 8938 FATCA reporting from casual questions. This system scores based on our specific criteria, like foreign asset disclosures under PFIC rules, and it's cut our false positives by half. Implementation took just three weeks, and compliance checks for IRS Form 5471 are now automatic."
Michael Tran
Managing Director of International Tax, Global Tax Advisors Inc.
"As a small firm, we couldn't afford misallocated time on unqualified leads during peak seasons like Q4 estimated payments. AIQ's solution integrated with our secure portal for K-1 distributions and started delivering insights immediately—our conversion rate jumped from 12% to 28% in four months, directly impacting our year-end bonuses through higher-value estate tax planning retainers."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring ensure compliance with tax privacy laws?
Our system is engineered with built-in safeguards aligned to IRS Publication 1075 and state bar rules, anonymizing sensitive data during analysis. We use encrypted processing to evaluate leads without storing PII unnecessarily, and every score includes a compliance flag based on your firm's predefined red lines—like unreported foreign accounts. This proactive approach has helped clients avoid potential FINRA inquiries, with audits showing 100% adherence in beta tests. Unlike generic tools, we customize these checks to your practice's risk profile, ensuring seamless integration without exposing your firm to regulatory pitfalls.
What data sources does the custom scoring model use for tax attorneys?
We pull from your internal sources like CRM entries, consultation notes, and anonymized past case files, then enrich with non-sensitive public data such as business filings or estimated income ranges from lead forms. For tax-specific insights, the model factors in seasonal patterns—like Q4 estate planning surges—and jurisdiction details to score relevance. This creates a holistic view without relying on third-party trackers that risk GDPR or CCPA violations. Clients typically see model accuracy reach 92% within the first two months, tailored precisely to scenarios like corporate tax disputes or individual deduction claims.
How long does it take to implement custom lead scoring for our firm?
Implementation averages 4-6 weeks, starting with a one-week discovery to map your intake process and tax lead criteria. We then spend 2-3 weeks building and testing the model against your data, followed by a week of integration and team training. For a mid-sized tax practice, this means minimal disruption—our phased rollout ensures you start scoring new leads immediately upon launch. Post-deployment, we provide two weeks of optimization support, adjusting for real-world conversions like those from referral networks. This timeline is 50% faster than traditional custom software projects, thanks to our pre-built compliance frameworks.
Can the system handle seasonal variations in tax inquiries?
Absolutely—our AI incorporates temporal factors, weighting scores higher for leads during peak periods like March-April or year-end planning. It learns from your historical data to predict urgency, such as flagging audit-threatened clients in Q3. This dynamic adjustment prevents overload, with benchmarks showing a 35% reduction in missed opportunities during rushes. For tax attorneys, it means prioritizing multi-jurisdictional cases when bandwidth is tight, all while maintaining steady performance outside seasons. We also include forecasting tools to alert on incoming waves, helping allocate resources proactively.
What if our firm's lead sources change, like adding new referral partners?
The system is designed for flexibility; we build in modular updates that allow quick reconfiguration without full rebuilds. If you add partners, say from accounting firms, we recalibrate the model in 1-2 days to incorporate new behavioral signals, like referral quality scores. This ensures continued accuracy, with no downtime—past clients have adapted to three major source shifts in a year, maintaining 85%+ precision. Unlike rigid templates, our owned architecture lets you own these evolutions, avoiding the integration fees that plague subscription models in dynamic legal environments.
How do you measure the success of the lead scoring system?
Success is tracked via key metrics tailored to tax practices: conversion rate from scored leads (target 25-40%), time-to-engagement (aim for under 48 hours for top scores), and ROI on marketing (expect 3-5x uplift). We provide a custom dashboard with these KPIs, plus qualitative insights like compliance adherence rates. Monthly reviews compare against baselines, with adjustments based on outcomes such as retainer values from high-scoring leads. Firms we've partnered with have seen verifiable gains, like a 28% revenue increase in the first year, grounded in these data-driven evaluations.
