Tax consulting firms · Email marketing

A document list sent in June is worth more than any campaign.

Email for a tax firm goes mostly to the clients you already have: due dates, document lists, and a note in June to whoever did not come back last season. GullySales sets that schedule against the filing calendar, splits the list by entity type, and measures replies against engagements signed.

What email marketing means

Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

For tax consulting firms

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “June is when last season's client is reachable”

    Write in July and he has already gone to somebody else. Write in June and he has not thought about it yet.

  • “A company and a salaried client need different mail”

    Monthly returns matter to one and nothing before June matters to the other, and a single list sent to both teaches everyone to ignore you.

  • “The mail that works is a list, not a letter”

    Bank statements, purchase register, rent receipts, Form 16. An owner forwards that to his accounts person, and your name goes with it.

What we do

What we deliver for tax consulting firms.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A reminder schedule set to the due dates

    Notes going out ahead of each monthly, quarterly and annual filing, carrying the date, what is needed and who it applies to.

    Result: Clients stop being reminded by a penalty.

  2. Document checklists attached to each reminder

    The list of papers for that filing, ready to forward to whoever keeps the books, sent with the reminder instead of a fortnight after it.

    Result: Papers arrive before the last week.

  3. A June note to last season's clients

    A short message to every client who filed with you last year and has not been in touch, sent before the season starts.

    Result: A quiet client is caught before he goes elsewhere.

  4. Lists split by entity and by service

    Companies, firms, individuals, NRI clients and GST-registered traders kept apart, so nobody gets a due date that is not theirs.

    Result: Open rates stop falling every month.

  5. A note on the rest of the work after a filing closes

    A message once an engagement finishes, describing the other matters the firm handles, written as description rather than as a pitch.

    Result: Existing clients learn what else you take on.

  6. Replies read against engagements signed

    Reporting on who replied, who came back and what was signed, set beside the retention figures recorded at the start.

    Result: Email is judged on clients kept.

How the result is measured

  • Open rate
  • Click rate
  • Enquiries from email

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What must be in place first

What a tax consulting firm needs in place before it emails clients and last season's returns.

A client list with entity and service
Record each client as an individual, proprietorship, firm, company or trust, with the services you do: GST returns, income tax, TDS or audit. Reminders must match the work.
Engagement terms that cover reminders
Add a line to the engagement letter that clients will receive due-date and document reminders. That is service mail. Keep offers for other services on a separate, opt-in list.
A due-date calendar you maintain
Check dates for each return and each class of client against the official notices, because extensions and changes happen. Cite 'check the current due date' rather than fixing it in a template.
A confidential channel for documents
Do not ask clients to email PAN scans, Aadhaar or bank statements in the open. Use a secure upload or a clear instruction. Mark the mail as the checklist, not the place for documents.
No outcome promised
Write about what you will file or review, not about saving tax or winning a notice. Rules for advertising by accountants and tax professionals vary by body, so check with your own institute.
An opt-out and a data record
Honour a request to stop mail. India's data protection law applies to the financial details you hold, so keep only what the engagement needs.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. 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 reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

How the email marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand your list

    We review who is on the list, how they got there, and how long it has been since they last heard from you.

  2. 2

    Audit past sends

    We check open and click rates from past emails to see what has and has not worked.

  3. 3

    Segment and plan

    The list is split into meaningful groups and a sending calendar is agreed.

  4. 4

    Implement content and automation

    Emails are written, scheduled and, where useful, set to trigger automatically based on behaviour.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track performance and adjust subject lines, timing and content based on what the list responds to.

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.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Is a reminder to an existing client treated as advertising?
A service message to your own client and a solicitation aimed at the public are usually looked at differently. Where the line falls is set by your institute or council. Your partner reads the wording first, especially anything describing other services.
How often should the firm write to clients?
Around the due dates that apply to them, and once in June. For most clients that is under ten mails a year. A monthly newsletter about tax news gets ignored by the third one.
Can we email clients a note about a new tax rule?
Yes if it is accurate, dated and framed as information, with a pointer to the official source and a line that it is not advice for their case. Check wording with your professional body's rules on communications, and avoid anything that reads as a promise of savings.
How do we mail people who have not renewed us?
Write one plain note asking whether they need help this season, naming what you did last time and the document list. Give an easy way to say no and stop. If they do not reply, leave them alone. Do not mail repeatedly.
Do we need to advertise?
Not at first. A page that explains a GST notice reaches the owner who is searching for it today, with no media spend. Paid search helps for a short push, such as the fortnight before the July income tax deadline.
We are chartered accountants. Are we even allowed to market the firm?
Within limits. ICAI's Code of Ethics restricts how a CA in practice can advertise or solicit clients, and ICAI publishes guidelines on what a firm website may carry. We write explanatory pages inside those limits, with no claims of superiority, and your partner checks the copy before it goes live.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
