About Our Location

Located at 100 Pine Street in the heart of San Francisco’s Financial District, our telephone answering service has a team based entirely in the US, with additional help from our sister office location in Colorado. As a result, every call is handled by a real person and not via overseas call centers or automated services. Our staff is well informed and trained regarding your business operations. Since 2012 we have been providing assistance to small scale companies, entrepreneurs and lawyers. In case you want to visit us in person, our office can be easily reached by a short walk from the Ferry Building.

Always a Real Person, Never Voicemail

Every call that you receive will be received live by a trained receptionist based in the US. The operators are trained to properly dealing with calls. Every time someone calls your business, they receive an honest conversation rather than just an answering machine message.

A Team That Knows Your Business

All of our receptionists follow the same scripts and procedures so that you receive the same level of service regardless of which receptionist takes your call. You will get all of the benefits of a front desk without the associated high price of an in-house employee.

Local Roots, Reliable Coverage

Our Financial District office has been serving entrepreneurs, small businesses, and sole practitioners since 2012 by answering their calls. Additionally, our backup support team in Colorado will ensure that your calls are covered even during peak hours so that you can always have a responsive and professional-sounding business.

01

How can I ensure you understand my business?

We ensure we understand your business through a detailed initial consultation to grasp your goals and needs, a personalized onboarding process, and continuous communication with a dedicated iAssistant who is specifically matched to your industry. Regular check-ins and feedback sessions ensure we stay aligned with your evolving business requirements.

02

Can you work with my existing technology and systems?

Yes! Our Virtual Assistants are highly adaptable and can work with your existing technology and systems. Whether you use specific CRM software, project management tools, or communication platforms, we are experienced in quickly integrating into your workflows to ensure seamless support.

03

How can you ensure confidentiality and data security?

We take data security and confidentiality very seriously. Our Virtual Assistants adhere to strict confidentiality agreements, and we employ robust security protocols such as encrypted communications, secure data storage, and access control measures to protect your sensitive information. Your privacy and trust are our top priorities.

04

Who will my point of contact be?

You will have a dedicated Virtual Assistant as your primary point of contact. They will manage your tasks and communications, ensuring consistency and a deep understanding of your business needs. In addition, you’ll also have access to our management team if any issues or special requests arise.

05

What happens if my needs change?

Our services are flexible and can easily scale with your business. As your business changes, we can adjust your service plan accordingly. Whether you need additional support, specialized services, or a shift in focus, we’ll work with you to customize the solution that best fits your evolving needs.

06

What if I need support outside of business hours?

We understand that business doesn’t always stop when the day ends. If you require support outside of regular business hours, we can accommodate that through customized scheduling, or we can arrange for additional support depending on your needs. Simply let us know your requirements, and we’ll provide a solution tailored to your schedule.

07

Is this only related to business services?

No, our Virtual Assistants can support both business and personal tasks. Whether you need help managing your professional calendar, booking travel, handling emails, or even organizing personal appointments, we offer comprehensive support to streamline both work and personal responsibilities.

08

Can your team work out of my office?

Our Intelligent Assistants work out of our location office, providing the flexibility and convenience of virtual support. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs and we’ll find a solution that works best for you!

09

Who answers the phone for Intelligent Office's answering service clients — is it a call center overseas?"

A live person from the U.S. responds to your calls rather than someone from outside the States or a robot. This indicates that a person trained to represent your organization meets the specific requirements of your brand.

10

How can I get a live receptionist for my small law practice without hiring someone full-time?

The telephone answering services which include a live receptionist allow any attorney running his or her own practice to avoid the financial burden of employing a full-time receptionist at the same time as providing them with high–quality service. You can have a person who will answer calls under your firm’s name and screen any calls from people who wish to work with you or be consulted by you.

11

What happens to calls after hours or when I'm in a meeting at the Pine Street office?

Should you be utilizing one of the meeting rooms or separate offices located in the Financial District yet unable to answer calls, our telephone answering team is happy to assist with any queries, take messages, or forward calls according to your instructions – meaning you can meet clients in person, while missing calls is no longer an option.
