Accountants and CPAs

Websites for accountants and CPAs.

Clients come to your site for the portal login and the deadlines, and nearly all of them come between January and April. If the site needs replacing we can build a new one before the season, and either way we look after the portal links and keep the site fast while everyone is on it.

What we look after

What an accounting firm website has to do.

Point clients to the portal

Documents and signatures go through ShareFile, SmartVault, TaxDome or a portal like them. We put the login link at the top of every page and test it each time we update the site.

Keep tax documents off the site

Tax returns and W-2s don't belong in a website contact form. We look at each form and send clients to the portal for anything with financial details.

Hold up in tax season

Your busiest weeks come in March and April. We cache the pages clients open most so the site stays fast while everyone is filing.

Post deadlines and notices

Extension deadlines and seasonal hours change every year. On Managed + Website, email us the update and we post it.

Take new client inquiries

New clients write in about bookkeeping or a business return. We set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC for your domain so those inquiries reach your inbox.

Link online payments

If clients pay invoices through your billing or portal software, we link to it from the site. Card details stay with that service and never touch the website.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • Clients emailed tax documents through the website contact form because they couldn't find the portal.
  • The portal login link broke after we switched providers, and we found out in March.
  • Our tax season hours were still on the site in July.
  • The site has been on the same theme for eight years, and it shows.
A note from Ryan

Clients are looking for the portal

Before tax season, I click the portal login on every page of an accounting firm's site. Firms change portal providers more than you'd expect, and the old link hangs on in a footer or a PDF somewhere. I'd also look for last year's deadlines, since they're easy to forget about once the season ends.

Is the site ready for tax season?

Send us the firm's site and we'll click through the portal links and time how the site loads, then write back with what we'd fix before January.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

They can start from it. Uploads should go through your client portal, which is built for financial documents, and the website links to it. We keep the website's own forms to names and contact details, so tax documents don't end up in its emails or backups.

It shouldn't. Clients open the same few pages, like the portal link and your contact page, so we cache those and keep them fast. If the site needs more than that, we tell you before the season starts.

Yes. Send us the new login link and we replace the old one everywhere it appears and try it ourselves. On Managed + Website that comes out of your monthly hour.

Yes, if we start early enough. Managed + Website covers the build and the upkeep after it, and for an accounting firm we'd aim to have the new site live by the end of the year so January isn't its first test.

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment

Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.
