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 the client has already gone to somebody else. Write in June and the client 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 their 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.

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.
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.
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 they go elsewhere.
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.
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.
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.

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.

The client list has no record of consent or entity type, so a mailing would reach people who never agreed to hear from the firm.
The firm has no secure way to receive documents, and an email asking for papers would invite files in the wrong channel.
No one maintains a due-date calendar, so reminders would carry dates that may be out of date.

How it works

How the email marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

1
Understand your list
We review who is on the list, how they got there, what they agreed to, and how long since they last heard from you.
2
Audit past sends
We read past campaign reports, your sending domain settings and any spam complaints to see what has and has not worked.
3
Segment and plan
The list is split into groups and a sending calendar is agreed, with a rule for unsubscribes and quiet addresses.
4
Write and set up
Emails are written, checked and scheduled in your email tool. Welcome and nurture emails are set to send on a trigger where that fits.
5
Measure and adjust
We read clicks, replies, enquiries and complaints by segment, and change subject lines, timing and content to match.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

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.

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.

What do you need from us?

Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.

What if we are not happy with the work?

Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
