Accounting is a relationship business disguised as a numbers business. Clients choose their CPA based on trust, competence, and accessibility — and they form those impressions from your website long before they shake your hand. Professional accounting website design converts searchers into consultations.

Accounting websites need to communicate competence without being boring. Most CPA firm websites are identical — stock photos of calculators, blue color schemes, and vague language about "financial solutions." We build accounting websites with personality that still feel professional, because the firms that stand out online are the ones that grow.

Service pages are essential for accounting SEO. Tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, business formation, audit representation, estate planning — each service attracts a different search query and a different type of client. We build dedicated pages that explain what you do, who it's for, and why someone should choose your firm over the franchise down the street.

Tax season drives massive search volume, and your website should be ready for it. We build tax preparation pages, tax deadline resources, and document checklists that rank in search engines and serve as lead magnets. Someone downloading your "tax preparation checklist" in January is a client by April.

Client portal integration connects your website to your practice management tools. Whether you use Karbon, Canopy, TaxDome, or a simple secure file upload — we make it easy for clients to submit documents, sign engagement letters, and communicate with your team from one place.

Industry-specific landing pages are an underused SEO strategy for accounting firms. "CPA for real estate investors," "bookkeeper for restaurants," "tax accountant for freelancers" — these pages target high-value niches and attract clients who are willing to pay premium rates for specialized expertise.

A resource center with tax tips, financial planning guides, and deadline reminders keeps your website active between tax seasons. This content ranks in Google year-round and positions your firm as the go-to resource, not just a seasonal service provider.

Our old site was a stock photo of a calculator. Literally. The new site with service pages for each niche we serve has brought in 4 new business clients in the first quarter. The real estate investor page alone got us 2.

Accounting Website Design FAQ

Can clients upload documents through the website?
We integrate secure file upload functionality and can connect with practice management portals like TaxDome, Canopy, or Karbon for document exchange.
Do you build pages for each accounting service?
Every service your firm offers gets its own optimized page. This is critical for ranking in searches like 'bookkeeper near me' or 'small business CPA [city].'
Can I have a tax resources section?
Yes. Tax deadline calendars, document checklists, and educational content are great for SEO and for demonstrating expertise to potential clients.
How much does a CPA website cost?
$999 flat. Service pages, client portal integration, consultation forms, and local SEO — everything included. Most accounting web firms charge $3,000+.
Can I target specific industries?
Industry-specific landing pages ('CPA for real estate investors,' 'bookkeeper for restaurants') attract high-value niche clients willing to pay premium rates.
Do you display CPA credentials?
CPA licenses, EA designations, state certifications, and professional memberships are displayed prominently to build credibility.
Can prospects book consultations online?
Consultation booking forms or Calendly integration make it easy for prospects to schedule their initial meeting without phone tag.
Will my website work during tax season traffic?
Our sites are built on fast, reliable infrastructure that handles traffic spikes. When January hits and everyone needs a CPA, your site stays fast.
Can I build a client referral page?
Referral program pages encourage existing clients to send new business. We design these with clear incentive information and easy-to-share links.
Do you include a blog?
Blog infrastructure is included. Year-round content about tax changes, financial tips, and business advice keeps your site ranking outside of tax season.
