Professional letter template for reaching out to new businesses as a tax preparer or CPA.
Include your CPA license number, years of experience, and any relevant certifications (EA, QuickBooks ProAdvisor, etc.).
Mention other businesses you've helped in the same city or region. "I've worked with 15 restaurants in downtown [City]..."
Tailor your benefits to their industry. For restaurants: "food cost tracking," for retail: "inventory management," for services: "time tracking."
If it's tax season, mention "getting ahead of tax season." If it's mid-year, focus on "quarterly planning" or "year-end preparation."
"I specialize in helping restaurants track food costs, manage payroll taxes, and maximize deductions for equipment and renovations."
"I help retail businesses with inventory accounting, sales tax compliance, and optimizing their chart of accounts for better reporting."
"I work with service businesses to set up proper time tracking, manage contractor vs. employee classifications, and plan for quarterly taxes."
"I help contractors with job costing, equipment depreciation, and managing the complex tax requirements for construction businesses."
"Hi [Name], I sent you a letter about accounting services for [Business Name]. Do you have a few minutes to discuss your tax planning needs?"
Send a helpful resource like "New Business Tax Checklist" or "Quarterly Tax Planning Guide" with a personal note.
Different angle: "Tax Planning for Growing Businesses" or "Common First-Year Tax Mistakes to Avoid."
