SMS for accounting
Looking for a better way to notify your clients?
Appointment reminders, deadline alerts, overdue notices and important-date nudges all land faster as a text than an email. Send them straight from touchSMS, or wire SMS into your client database and practice software so reminders go out automatically.
What it looks like for accounting
Real, plain-text messages your customers and team read in seconds. Personalise every send, collect replies, and let people respond right on the same number.
How teams in accounting use touchSMS
Accounting and bookkeeping practices use SMS to keep clients on top of lodgement deadlines, appointments and outstanding invoices. A text reminder for a BAS due date or a signed engagement letter gets opened and actioned far faster than email, cutting no-shows and late-payment follow-ups across the practice.
BAS and tax deadline alerts
Schedule reminders ahead of quarterly BAS, PAYG and tax return due dates so clients get their paperwork in on time. Recognise the busy periods and text the checklist a week out to save chasing documents at the last minute.
Appointment confirmations
Send an appointment reminder before each meeting and collect YES or NO replies in your inbox. Clients confirm or reschedule with a single tap, which reduces no-shows and keeps your advisers' diaries organised.
Overdue invoice nudges
Text a polite reminder when an invoice passes its due date, with a payment link or your phone number. A quick SMS often clears an outstanding balance days sooner than a follow-up email that sits unread.
Document and signature requests
Ask clients to sign an engagement letter, return a bank statement or approve a lodgement. Point them straight to the document with a short link so they can action it from their phone in seconds.

How much does it cost to send client reminders by SMS?
Each message is 5c per SMS, with no contracts, setup fees or monthly minimums. You buy prepaid credits that never expire, so a small practice can send a handful of reminders or a whole client base without a fixed commitment.
Can clients reply to confirm appointments?
Yes. Inbound replies are free, so YES, NO or reschedule responses land in your inbox at no cost. You can add an optional virtual number if you want a dedicated line for two-way conversations with clients.
Can I send reminders automatically from my practice software?
Yes. Connect through the REST API or Zapier to trigger reminders from your client database and practice tools, so BAS and appointment texts go out automatically. Opt-out and STOP handling is built in to keep you compliant.
