Accounting firms · Toronto & GTA

Websites for accountants
and CPA firms.

An accounting site is read in two moods: by people choosing a new accountant before tax season, and by existing clients hunting for the upload link. We build for both, inside the CPA Ontario rules, and you pay after you have seen it.

What we found on GTA accounting sites.

There are 1,106 accounting practices listed in the GTA; 122 have no website at all, and we opened the 889 that do. 393 never name their city in the page title, so they compete for "accountant" with the whole country instead of for "accountant in Markham". 336 have no enquiry form, and 193 still carry a copyright line five or more years old — the kind of detail a careful client notices about a careful profession.

Accounting is also where the typical business has very few reviews: 16 on Google for the median GTA practice, against more than a thousand for each of the five most reviewed. With so little social proof, the website does most of the persuading.

What goes on an accounting site.

Services named the way clients search

Personal tax, corporate year-end, bookkeeping, payroll, cross-border, estates — a page for each one you actually offer, and none for work you have stopped doing.

Fees that pass Rule 217

"From $X" is acceptable when it is representative of what clients normally pay. We help you say what the price includes and what moves it up, which is what the guidance asks for and what clients want anyway.

The right size, described honestly

A sole practitioner is not "our team of accountants" — the guidance names plural descriptions that imply a larger practice as misleading. A one-person site written well reads as personal service, which is a reason to hire you.

A path for existing clients

A clear link to the portal or upload tool you already use, your tax-season document checklist and the deadlines. Fewer emails asking where to send the slips.

Protected titles in the right places

CPA where it applies, and "public accountant" only for those licensed to use it. We check the team page against how each person is registered before it goes live.

Booking for first conversations

A booking link for new-client calls, so a February enquiry does not wait two days for a reply.

What it costs.

Where an accounting practice lands depends on its size. A sole practitioner with one or two service lines is not priced like a firm with several partners and offices, and we tell you which band before we start.

Size of businessWebsiteMonthly
Solo operator or a two-person shop$590$129
A crew of three to ten$1,190$299
Ten or more, or several locations$2,400$590
Legal, medical or financial practice$3,900$990

The build is paid after the site is finished and you have seen it. The monthly part covers hosting, the domain, edits, your Google Business Profile and ongoing search work, and can be cancelled any month. Full pricing.

How it works, and when.

  1. A conversation about the practice. Which clients you want more of — owner-managed corporations, households, cross-border — and which services you have dropped.
  2. We check your current site against Rule 217. Plural descriptions, fee wording, out-of-date staff and services. You get the list whether or not you hire us.
  3. We draft the pages and send a live preview link. Most practices want this finished before January, so we plan backwards from tax season.
  4. You correct it. Every fee and every service claim is yours to confirm.
  5. Live, then you pay. The monthly part covers hosting, edits, the listing and search work, and stops whenever you want.

Why you can believe a price you have not negotiated.

You pay after the site is built. Not a deposit, not half up front — nothing until it is finished and you have looked at it. If you do not want it, you do not pay for it, and we would rather absorb that than argue someone into a site they are unhappy with.

Our prices are published in full, so the number does not change once we know what you drive. There is no contract: the monthly part is month to month, and the domain and the site are yours either way.

We do not publish client names — the businesses we work for asked us not to, and we would rather keep that promise than win an argument on a web page. What we can show you is our work on the whole market: we opened 34,180 GTA business websites one at a time and published everything we found. Run the same check on your own site, free and without an email, on our site checker.

The rules, in plain English.

Accountants in Ontario can advertise far more freely than dentists or physiotherapists; testimonials are not banned. But Rule 217 of the CPA Code is specific about things accounting sites say all the time, and the member stays responsible for copy an agency writes. Our guide: what a CPA firm website may say.

Questions

What people ask us.

Can an accounting firm website show prices?

Yes. CPA Ontario's guidance to Rule 217 treats fee advertising as acceptable and lists what makes it misleading — for example a "from" price that is not representative of what you normally charge, or a fee that depends on buying other services without saying so.

Can a sole practitioner say "our team"?

The guidance gives plural descriptions that imply a larger practice as an example of misleading advertising. If there is one CPA and a part-time assistant, the site should say so — and it can make a virtue of it.

Can it be ready before tax season?

A small practice site takes one to two weeks once we have your information, so yes, if we start by early January. The usual delay is waiting for copy, which is why we write the first draft.

How much does an accountant website cost?

Between $590 and $3,900 depending on the size of the practice, paid after the site is built. Hosting, edits, the Google listing and search work run $129 to $990 a month and can be cancelled any month.

Do I pay anything up front?

No. You pay once the site is built and you have seen it. If you do not want it, you do not pay.

Is there a contract?

No. The monthly fee is month to month and can be cancelled any month. The domain and the site stay yours.

Where does your
own site land?

Everything above came from opening real websites. Yours takes ten seconds: we load it the way a customer would and say what we find, including when the honest answer is that nothing needs doing.
