We first came to office & phone in 2005 on a recommendation. Between 2009 and 2010 we had a break because our tax advisor at the time thought he could better support us with the necessary filings. We ended the partnership reluctantly back then — but after two years we realised that the work with Mrs. Evelyn Paul was missing. The direct, close contact with my contacts was and still is very important to me.
Mrs. Paul and her team take care of all our questions quickly and competently. They give us tips that we can implement well in our workflow. Of course we are moving with the times too — and the introduction of DATAC24 confronted us as "industry outsiders" with several hurdles. With the tireless support of office & phone we mastered those just as well as our growing headcount and the associated higher costs.
The next challenge is to get a better view of an up-to-date picture of our numbers and finances. We still have to work intensively on ourselves and become more disciplined here. Of course we are also hoping for the help of office & phone. We feel very comfortable with our bookkeeping and payroll at this company and very much appreciate their service- and customer-oriented approach and the continuity at office & phone.

Frequently asked questions.
Short answers to the most important questions around office and telephone services.
What is an external office service?
An external office service takes over commercial and organizational tasks for your company — for example correspondence, invoicing, pre-accounting or appointment management. You get professional support without hiring your own staff for these tasks. At office & phone you'll work with dedicated contacts who know your business and integrate seamlessly into your processes.
How does an external telephone service work?
Your incoming calls are forwarded to our team — we answer them in your company name. You define greeting, call-handling scripts and escalation rules, and we follow them exactly. Your customers won't notice any difference from an in-house receptionist. At office & phone, calls are handled exclusively by trained staff — no AI, no voicemail trees.
Which industries benefit from an office service?
Basically every industry in which availability and professional communication are important. Law firms, medical practices, craft businesses, property managers and IT companies particularly often use our services. We support sole entrepreneurs as well as medium-sized companies with up to 200 employees — in Freiburg, Lahr and across Germany.
