Accounting Proposal
What is an accounting proposal?
An accounting proposal is a document that will help you sell yourself and your accounting services to clients. It’s a summary of what you can do for a client with a breakdown of the problem they are trying to solve and the solution you can provide.
When a company or an individual looks for an accountant that offers certain services such as business structure advice, accounting system advice, and setup, and tax/compliance service, they ask potential accounting firms to write an accounting proposal for their business.
What is the purpose of the accounting proposal?
You can use an accounting proposal any time when you want to get a new client or if you have an existing client that wants a new set of accounting services from your firm.
Many business owners normally ask for multiple accounting services proposals from multiple accounting firms to decide which one is the best fit for their accounting needs.
Why should you use a template for your accounting proposal?
You need certain elements in your proposal, whenever you present your accounting services to potential clients such as the evaluation of the problems that you can fix with your services, the list of goals for the project, a realistic timeline showing each phase of the project, and the related cost.
There are many benefits of putting these elements in an accounting proposal:
- All the information stays in one place: You don’t have to browse through dozens of files to pull information about different elements of your accounting process.
- Offerings and pricing remain consistent: Your template will include a list of your services and pricing for each service. This means you don’t have to worry about creating a pricing plan for every job as the base prices will be already there in the template. You’ll only need to customize as per their service requirements.
- You can personalize the proposal in a matter of minutes: There will be some obvious places where each template can be personalized: the client’s contact information, the client’s pain points, their goals. A few tweaks in the template can make your proposal ideal for your potential clients.
What Clients Usually Expects From CPA?
When your prospective client thinks about hiring a certified public accountant (CPA), they have many questions and concepts in their minds, so your accounting proposal must answer all those questions beforehand. Here’s a list of some of those questions,
- What is her/his niche or specialty?
- How many years of experience does s/he have with my industry?
- Does the CPA understand my business mission?
- What else can the CPA do for my business besides audit and tax work?
- What do they charge?
Top CPAs or accounting firms never fail to address these questions in their accounting proposal.
