Referral programs, holiday gifts, early bird discounts, loyalty rewards — create campaigns in 5 minutes with pre-built templates. Promo codes, audience targeting, automated delivery, and ROI analytics. No external marketing tools needed.

December rolls around — you could send a holiday gift campaign to 80 done clients, but writing 80 emails is a full day's work. A loyal 5-year client doesn't know they could refer a friend for $50 off. External marketing tools aren't connected to your practice data. They don't know who's done, who's returning, or who's new. So you don't do it — and clients go elsewhere instead of referring friends.
TaxScout's Campaign Engine is native — it knows which clients are done, which are new, which are returning, and targets them automatically. Select a template, everything pre-fills. Promo codes are generated and work at checkout. Pipeline-triggered campaigns run forever without manual intervention. Set it up once, grow your firm on autopilot.
Pick a template and everything pre-fills — name, discount, audience, email copy, and scheduling. Edit anything or accept defaults. Launch in under 5 minutes.
| Target | Who Gets the Email | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| All clients | Every client with an email | Tax Season Kickoff, announcements |
| Done (current year) | Clients whose returns are filed | Holiday Gift, referral ask |
| Returning clients | Clients with 2+ years of history | Loyalty Reward |
| New clients | First-year clients | Welcome discount |
| Custom segment | Filter by years, return types, stages | Targeted promotions |
Pipeline-triggered campaigns are the most powerful — set it up once and it runs forever for every new client.
Client completes their return and sees the Gift Widget in the portal
They fill in the recipient's name, email, and a personal message
Client pays for the gift via the portal
Recipient receives an invitation email with a unique promo code
Recipient uses the code at checkout — 12-month expiry with auto-refund if unredeemed
Client gifts → new client → also gifts → more new clients. Organic growth loop.
No CPA practice management platform has a built-in campaign engine. Others require external marketing tools that aren't connected to your client pipeline data.
