The Problem

Your Site Sells Tax Prep While Your Firm Sells Advice

Generic website design for accounting firms treats every firm like a tax shop. So the calls you get are about returns, not advisory work.

  1. 01 · Tax-first homepage

    Your home page leads with a W-2 checklist, not advisory work.

    The site leads with the work you want more of, like advisory or CFO engagements.

  2. 02 · Buried services

    Your fractional CFO page sits 3 clicks deep with no fees.

    Each service page covers who it's for, how it works, and any fee you publish.

  3. 03 · Inbox uploads

    Clients email scanned returns to your info@ inbox.

    Documents go through your portal or an encrypted form, not email.

  4. 04 · No booking

    A referred owner finds no way to book and leaves.

    Booking sits on every service page, with intake questions built in.

A business owner gets your name from their banker and opens your site in February. The home page leads with a W-2 checklist and a Start Your Return button. Your fractional CFO page sits 3 clicks deep, with no fees and no way to book. Meanwhile, a client emails a scanned return to your info@ inbox. The owner leaves, and by April nobody remembers to follow up.

We start with the work you want more of: advisory, monthly bookkeeping, or fractional CFO engagements. Each service gets a page with who it's for, how it works, and a starting fee if you publish one. Booking sits on every service page, and documents go through your portal. Tax season keeps its page. It just stops running the site.

  • Advisory pages that sell

    Each advisory service gets its own page with scope, process, and a way to book.

  • Uploads that skip the inbox

    Clients send documents through your portal or an encrypted form, not email attachments.

  • Booking on every service page

    Prospects pick a time from the page they're reading and answer intake questions.

Our CPA Website Process

From Discovery Call to Booked Advisory Calls in Five Steps

You approve each stage: the intake plan, page copy, a clickable design, a staging site with test bookings, and the launch checklist.

  1. We review which services earn the most, where new clients come from, and how documents reach you today. You get a sitemap, a secure intake plan, and a fixed price.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built websites for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why Accounting Firms Trust Us With Their Website

Our web design for accounting firms comes from developers who build what they design. These habits keep your site accurate and secure.

  • Advisory before tax prep

    We plan the site around the services you want to grow, then fit tax season in. Your home page should sell work that pays all year.

  • Tax files stay out of email

    We route documents through your portal or an encrypted upload, as IRS Publication 4557 advises. No page asks clients to email a return.

  • Credentials checked twice

    We confirm every license, designation, and partner badge with you before launch. Prospects look these up, so a wrong title costs trust.

  • Launches planned around tax season

    We schedule builds so launch day avoids your busiest weeks. Partners review pages when they have time to read them.

  • Straight answers first

    If a well-made template covers what your firm needs, we'll say so before quoting. A custom build should earn its price.

  • You own every account

    Your domain, hosting, site files, and analytics sit in your firm's name from day one. If you change developers, nothing stays hostage.

Good fit

  • Solo CPAs outgrowing tax season

    You file returns all spring and want your website to win advisory and bookkeeping clients who pay monthly.

  • Firms adding fractional CFO services

    Your firm now sells fractional CFO work, but your WordPress site still reads like a tax-prep flyer.

  • Bookkeeping and payroll practices

    You sell monthly bookkeeping and payroll packages and need pages that explain them and start onboarding.

  • Niche firms with contractor clients

    Your clients are mostly contractors, and you want pages that speak their language: job costing, WIP, and retainage.

  • Agencies with accounting firm clients

    Your agency signed a CPA firm and needs a Webflow or WordPress partner who knows portals and busy seasons.

Not a fit

  • Map pack calls

    You mainly want more calls from Google Maps, and your site works. Local SEO Services for Accountants & CPAs covers the map pack.

  • Organic traffic program

    You want organic traffic for commercial tax and audit searches. SEO for Accounting Firms & CPAs is that program.

  • Financial advisor or RIA

    You're a financial advisor or RIA whose pages need compliance review. Financial Advisor Website Design Services fits that process.

  • One page for now

    Your budget is under $1,100, or one page covers you for now. A simple template is a cheaper start, and we'll say so.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on cost, launch timing, secure intake, and winning advisory clients online.

  • Our builds start at $1,100 for an 8-page site with booking and a secure upload link. Sites with industry pages, package pages, and onboarding forms start at $2,600. Multi-office builds with intake sent to your practice software start at $5,400. You get a fixed quote after a free call.

  • A starter site launches in 3 to 4 weeks, and a site with industry pages takes 5 to 7 weeks. Multi-office builds with practice software intake take 8 to 10 weeks. Partner review time is the biggest variable, so we keep launch day clear of filing deadlines.

  • Every accounting firm site needs consultation booking, a secure client portal login, and a tax deadline calendar. It also needs a page per service and an encrypted upload path. Add partner bios with credentials and a page per industry you serve. Calculators should earn their place.

  • Lead with the decisions you help clients make, not the forms you file. Put advisory services first in the menu and name outcomes like cash flow, entity choice, or exit planning. Good web design for accountant-led practices also shows partners' faces and credentials, because buyers hire people.

  • CPA websites convert these clients by selling packages with a clear scope, not a vague offer to help. Each package page lists what's included each month, who it suits, and a starting fee. A short intake form qualifies leads first, and a plain tier table beats long copy.

  • Pages that show you know each vertical's own numbers establish authority fastest. For contractors, that means job costing, WIP schedules, and retainage. Ecommerce sellers want sales tax nexus and marketplace fees, and medical practices want payer mix. One solid page per niche beats the thin posts most business accounting websites publish.

  • Templates give you a site in days, while a custom build fits your services, niches, and intake. Most CPA websites run on template designs with the same stock photos, so firms look alike. Custom accounting firm web design costs more but pays off when advisory work needs explaining.

  • The website's job is keeping taxpayer data off insecure channels. IRS Publication 4557 tells tax pros to encrypt sensitive files, use multi-factor authentication, and avoid emailing unprotected documents. So uploads go to your portal or an encrypted form, and editors use multi-factor sign-in. Your security plan should list the site's vendors.

  • Accounting websites automate onboarding by turning the first call into a guided form. In bookkeeping website design, that form asks for entity type, software, and monthly volume, then books the call. Once you accept, an e-signature step sends the engagement letter and your portal requests documents from a checklist.

  • You add the official badge files each program gives its members, placed where its rules allow. QuickBooks ProAdvisor badges come through Intuit's ProAdvisor program. Xero emails badges or offers them in Partner Central, and Gusto gives each partner tier a website badge. We link every badge to your directory listing.
