CPA and accounting firms · Content marketing
Write in June what you want prospects reading in January.
Content marketing for a CPA firm is the writing that proves you know one industry: its credits, its payroll problems, its year-end decisions. GullySales draws that out of your partners in short conversations, publishes it between May and August, and keeps it inside what professional conduct rules allow you to claim.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What content marketing means
Content marketing is writing articles, guides and pages that answer the questions buyers search before they are ready to enquire. This makes your business visible and trusted before the first call. GullySales plans this content from the first conversation onward, choosing topics that match real search demand rather than guesses.

For CPA and accounting firms
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The subject is the industry, not the tax code”
A page on tip credits, delivery app 1099s and payroll across four restaurant locations reaches one reader exactly.
“Nothing written during busy season is ever published”
Firms promise a blog in February and abandon it by March, so the calendar has to live in the summer.
“Dates go stale and the licence is yours”
Thresholds and deadlines change, so every article needs a review date and a line saying it is general, not advice for one business.
What we do
What we deliver for CPA and accounting firms.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A summer writing calendar drawn from partner interviews
Half-hour conversations with the partner who knows the subject, turned into drafts they correct instead of compose, scheduled from May to August.
Result: The firm publishes without a partner writing an essay.
A year-end planning guide for your niche
The decisions an owner in that industry has to make before 31 December, written as a checklist you can send out in November.
Result: Planning conversations start before the year closes.
A talk or webinar built with the association
A session for your niche's association, with the slides, the handout and a follow-up offer, since that room is full of the owners you want.
Result: One afternoon reaches a roomful of buyers with the same problem.
Review dates and general-guidance wording on everything
Each piece dated, assigned to a partner for annual review, and worded so nobody reads it as advice on their own situation.
Result: Old articles stop becoming a liability.
A note of what each piece brought in
Views, enquiries and proposals traced back to each article or talk, reported beside the rest of the figures.
Result: Next summer's plan is built on what worked.
How the result is measured
- Pages published
- Organic traffic
- Enquiries from content pages
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Questions buyers ask first
The questions a business owner asks before moving to a new CPA, and the piece that answers each.
- Can I switch accountants in the middle of the year?
- A switching page: what you need from the owner, such as prior returns, access to the books and a letter to the previous accountant, and how the year is picked up.
- What do you need from me at tax time, and in what form?
- A document checklist by client type: employee, business owner, rental owner. Say how to send papers, so a client does not email a photograph of a form.
- Do I need a bookkeeper or a CPA?
- A plain page on who does what, when the owner needs each, and what the firm does when the books are not in order. Owners often hire the wrong one first.
- What do you do if I get a letter from the tax authority?
- A notice page: what to send you straight away, how representation works, and what you will and will not do. Say it is general information, not advice.
- Should my business be an LLC or an S corporation?
- A general guide for your niche, with a review date and a note to speak to the firm about their own facts. This is the question owners search for, so answer it carefully.
- How do I send documents safely?
- Describe the secure portal, who has access and how long documents are kept. Clients ask because a stolen tax document is a risk to them.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

Enquiries are traced back to content where a direct line exists, and reported honestly where it does not.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
Hours that fit your day, agreed up front
Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.
