The Problem: CPA Firms Don't Market to Existing Clients

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.

The Solution: Campaigns That Know Your Practice

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.

6 Pre-Built Templates — Select, Customize, Launch

Pick a template and everything pre-fills — name, discount, audience, email copy, and scheduling. Edit anything or accept defaults. Launch in under 5 minutes.

vs. Competitors

No CPA practice management platform has a built-in campaign engine. TaxDome, Canopy, and Karbon require external marketing tools like Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign that aren't connected to client pipeline data. TaxScout's Campaign Engine is native — it targets clients automatically based on their pipeline status.
