Complete Growth Engine for Accounting Firms
Stop losing clients post-tax season. Get year-round clients with professional website, local SEO, and CRM automation. Grow from tax prep to advisory services. All for $50/month.
Why Most Accounting Firms Struggle to Grow
33% of CPAs have no website. 40% have outdated websites. You're invisible online while competitors capture clients searching for accountants right now.
Tax Season Overwhelm
January-April rush: 80% of revenue in 4 months. Can't keep up with demand, turning away high-value clients.
Impact: Missing $50K-$150K in annual revenue
Revenue Drops 50% Post-April
May-December ghost town. Bills don't stop but client flow does. Scrambling for advisory work to fill the gap.
Impact: Cash flow stress 8 months/year
Can't Compete with Big Firms
H&R Block, TurboTax, and Big Four dominate search results. Your firm is invisible when clients Google 'accountant near me.'
Impact: Losing 10-20 leads/month to competitors
Hard to Get Year-Round Clients
One-time tax filers don't come back. No recurring revenue. No monthly bookkeeping, no advisory retainers.
Impact: $120K-$300K in lost recurring revenue
The root cause? No systematic way to capture leads, nurture prospects, and convert clients year-round. You're great at accounting, but marketing and client acquisition aren't your strengths. That's where FlashCrafter comes in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about growing your accounting practice with FlashCrafter
How quickly can I start getting more clients?
Your website launches in 48 hours. You'll start appearing in Google search results within 2-4 weeks as our SEO work kicks in. Most accounting firms see their first leads within the first week (from website traffic, Google Business Profile). Consistent lead flow typically starts month 2-3 as SEO rankings improve.
Will this work during tax season when I'm already overwhelmed?
Yes - that's exactly when you need it most. Our system captures leads automatically while you're buried in returns. CRM handles follow-ups, online booking fills your calendar without phone tag, automated responses keep leads warm. You capture 30-50% more clients during tax season without hiring extra staff.
How do I attract business clients vs just individual tax prep?
We create separate service pages for business accounting (bookkeeping, CFO services, business tax planning). Local SEO targets '[city] business accountant', '[city] CFO services'. Content marketing positions you as business advisor, not just tax filer. Result: You attract higher-value business clients willing to pay $300-3,000/month for ongoing services.
Can FlashCrafter help me get recurring revenue (bookkeeping, advisory)?
Absolutely. We set up automated email campaigns to past tax clients offering monthly bookkeeping ($300-1,500/mo), advisory retainers ($500-3,000/mo), year-end planning packages. CRM tracks upsell opportunities (tax client → bookkeeping → CFO services). Many accounting firms double their revenue by converting 20-30% of tax clients to recurring services.
What if I'm a solo CPA with no marketing experience?
Perfect - that's our ideal client. We handle everything: website design, SEO, Google Business Profile, content creation, ads setup (if you want). You review and approve, we execute. No marketing knowledge required. Most solo CPAs spend 2-3 hours/month reviewing performance and approving campaigns.
How is this different from CPA Site Solutions or other accounting website builders?
Three key differences: (1) We include FREE professional CRM (GoHighLevel, normally $97-497/mo) - competitors charge extra. (2) Done-for-you SEO (not DIY) - we optimize and manage your local search presence. (3) Complete growth engine (website + CRM + SEO + automation) for $50/mo vs $300-1,000/mo with competitors.
Do I need to change my practice management software?
No. FlashCrafter is your marketing and lead generation system, not your practice management software. We capture leads and book appointments, then you manage client work in your existing tools (QuickBooks, Drake, CCH, Thomson Reuters, whatever you use). FlashCrafter integrates with most accounting software via Zapier or API if you want automated data sync.
Will my clients be able to upload tax documents securely?
Yes. Included client portal (via GoHighLevel CRM) allows secure document uploads: W2s, receipts, bank statements, 1099s. Bank-level encryption (256-bit SSL). Two-way messaging keeps communication organized. Clients love it - no more emailing sensitive documents. You love it - no more inbox chaos.
What's included in the $50/month price? Any hidden fees?
Everything is included: professional website, GoHighLevel CRM, local SEO, Google Business Profile management, online booking, client portal, email/SMS automation, payment collection, hosting, security, updates. No setup fees (normally $1,500 - we waive it). No contracts - cancel anytime. The only additional cost is optional Google Ads budget if you want paid advertising (managed by us).
How long does it take to see ROI?
First lead typically within 7-14 days. First new client within 30-60 days. ROI calculation: If you land ONE new business client ($3K-5K/year), FlashCrafter pays for itself for 5-8 years. If you convert ONE tax client to monthly bookkeeping ($3,600-18K/year), you've covered costs for 6-30 years. Most firms achieve positive ROI in month 1-2.
