Start with a plan.
A five-week strategy engagement for accounting firms. You walk away with clear positioning, sales-language you can use in your marketing materials, and a 12-month marketing plan you can act on (with us or without us).
Let's TalkStrategy is where every engagement begins.
Our clients hire us when they hit a wall. The old playbook (referrals, word of mouth, etc.) isn't going to get them to the next level. That moment usually arrives at a transition: niching down, rebranding, shifting service mix, launching something new.
The Marketing Roadmap is where we figure out what to do instead (a new strategy), before we run a campaign, build a website, or set up a CRM.
Strategy first. Everything else builds on that.
Decisions made. Plan in hand.
The hardest part of marketing isn't execution. It's deciding what to do. The Marketing Roadmap gets those decisions made and documented, so the work that follows has somewhere to point.
Positioning one-pager
Names what makes your firm different and which clients you're built to serve.
Messaging one-pager
The language you'll use to talk about the firm: elevator pitch, problem framing, and how to describe what you do.
Marketing strategy document
Lays out the areas of focus most likely to make the biggest impact over the next 12 months.
Budget & scope-and-sequence calendar
Shows what to do, when to do it, and what it will cost on a month-by-month basis for the next 12 months.
Five weeks. Five calls. One plan.
You'll meet once a week with a senior strategist for a 90-minute working call. You'll have homework between sessions. We do synthesis work on our end so every call moves the plan forward.
Context
We dig into the realities of your firm: what you do, who you serve, how you got here, what's working, and what isn't.
Positioning
We sort out what makes your firm genuinely different and who you're built to serve.
Messaging
We turn the positioning into language you can use: elevator pitch, problem framing, and how to describe what you do.
Budget
We build a marketing budget anchored to a defined cost-of-acquisition target for your firm.
Plan
We walk through the full 12-month plan together and hand off the documents.
Priced to stand on its own.
You can take the Roadmap and run with it, or hire us to handle the execution. We've priced it to be profitable either way. That keeps us honest. We don't have to pitch you on follow-up work to make the engagement worth doing.

No ongoing commitment required.
Bundled with a retainer
Delivered as the first month of All-In Marketing or All-In Publisher when you commit from day one.
When firms come to us for the Marketing Roadmap.
A few of the moments when this engagement makes sense:
- Launching a new firm or merging two firms together
- Deciding to niche down (and figuring out which niche)
- Rebranding or renaming after an ownership change
- Shifting the service mix from tax-heavy to business advisory and recurring revenue
- Hitting a ceiling where the marketing that got you here isn't getting you to the next level
Three paths forward.
When the engagement ends, the plan is yours. Three options for what happens next:
Implement it yourself, with your in-house team.
Hand it to another agency or free-lancer. It's written to be useful either way.

Your current marketing is producing exactly what it's built to produce. If that's not enough, the next step is figuring out what to do differently. That's the work the Roadmap is for.
