The sales function built for accounting firms
Outsourced Sales for Accounting Firms
You handle the accounting. We help turn qualified opportunities into clients.
We work with you to bring in more qualified leads, then run the sales conversations, follow-up, pricing, and objections needed to turn them into recurring clients.
Built from real experience selling recurring accounting and payroll services.
Best for
Established firms with qualified opportunity flow
We handle
Lead generation, calls, proposals, follow-up, pipeline, and closing
You keep
Your focus on clients, delivery, and the firm
Running the firm is already a full-time job. Selling should not be another one.
Firm owners should not have to spend hours every week running discovery calls, chasing proposals, and managing a pipeline while also leading the work clients pay for.
Discovery calls take over the week
Every new opportunity lands on the owner's calendar, even when client work and team decisions already need attention.
Follow-up happens when there is time
Good prospects go quiet because proposals and next steps compete with deadlines, delivery, and dozens of client requests.
The pipeline lives in one person's head
Nobody has a reliable view of which opportunities are active, what they need, or what should happen next.
Pricing conversations feel uncomfortable
The firm knows the work is valuable, but scope, fees, and objections are harder to handle in a live buyer conversation.
Sales depends on the owner
Revenue slows whenever the owner gets busy because nobody else owns the conversation from first call through signed agreement.
Hiring a sales team feels premature
Recruiting, training, and managing a full-time salesperson is a major commitment before the firm has a proven sales function.
The sales work between a qualified lead and a signed recurring client.
We help fill your pipeline with qualified leads and run the sales work in your existing tools. Your team keeps control of fit, scope, and delivery.
Qualified lead generation
Work alongside your firm to attract more qualified leads from the kinds of clients you actually want, so the pipeline has real opportunities to work.
Discovery calls
Run focused conversations that qualify fit, uncover the real need, and establish a clear next step.
Financial review and proposals
Guide prospects through findings, scope, recommendations, and the proposal without turning the call into free consulting.
Pipeline management
Keep every qualified opportunity visible, current, and moving through clear stages in your CRM.
Follow-up
Own the next email, call, and decision point so strong opportunities do not disappear after the proposal.
Pricing conversations
Present recurring fees clearly, connect price to scope and value, and keep the conversation grounded when a buyer pushes back.
Objections and closing
Work through timing, trust, switching costs, and fee concerns, then ask for a clear decision without unnecessary pressure.
CRM and sales process
Create a practical operating rhythm for notes, stages, next steps, forecasts, and clean handoffs to onboarding.

For established firms that want more of the right clients.
Outsourced Sales fits firms that already earn trust in their market and want a more reliable flow of qualified leads, with an owner who no longer wants to carry most of the sales load.
A strong fit usually looks like this:
- An established accounting, CPA, bookkeeping, or payroll firm
- A steady flow of qualified referrals, inbound leads, or partner opportunities
- An owner who still handles most discovery, proposals, and follow-up
- Capacity and a clear onboarding path for additional recurring clients
- A willingness to keep pipeline activity visible in a shared CRM
Lead-generation support can be discussed separately, but Outsourced Sales works best when your firm already has qualified opportunities. It is not intended to create an entire lead pipeline from scratch.
We can run the sales function or help you build your own.
Outsourced Sales
We become an extension of your firm, help bring in more qualified leads, and manage every opportunity from the first sales conversation through a clear yes or no.
How pricing works
$2,500 per month for the sales function, plus 30% of first-year collected revenue from clients Accounting Growth closes. The performance fee only applies to revenue your firm actually collects during each new client's first 12 months. After that, the client is 100% yours. If a client does not pay your firm, there is no performance fee on that unpaid revenue.
An illustrative example
One new client at $2,000 per month in recurring fees
Year 1
Your firm collects $24,000. The performance fee is $7,200, which is 30% of the revenue actually collected. Your firm keeps $16,800.
Years 2 to 5
The client is entirely yours. $24,000 per year with no further performance fee, which adds $96,000 over four years.
Five-year total
$120,000 collected from one client, and $112,800 of it stays with your firm after the one-time performance fee.
This is an illustrative example, not a quote. Final pricing depends on opportunity volume, scope, and the services involved.

Selling accounting services takes more than a generic script.
Buyers are choosing a long-term financial relationship. They ask detailed questions, worry about switching, compare fees, and need to trust the person guiding the decision.
Our approach comes from selling accounting and payroll services in real buyer conversations. We understand the gap between knowing the technical answer and moving a qualified prospect toward a decision.
Accounting and payroll sales experience
The approach comes from real conversations with buyers of recurring accounting and payroll services, not a generic sales script.
Comfort with the full conversation
Discovery, bookkeeping cleanup, tax needs, payroll, advisory scope, recurring fees, switching concerns, and pricing objections all require context.
Built around owner-led firms
The process respects that the owner may still need to provide technical judgment while removing the routine sales work from the owner's week.
Leads and closing, handled together
We help bring more qualified leads into the firm, then take ownership of converting them instead of handing you a list and leaving the hard part to you.
- Who we serve
- Established accounting, CPA, bookkeeping, payroll, and CAS firms
- Where we work
- Across the United States, remotely
- Primary work

A sales function that understands the service being sold.
Accounting Firm Growth helps capable firms solve a practical problem. Qualified prospects are interested, but the owner does not have enough time to run every call, send every follow-up, and keep every deal moving.
The work is grounded in real experience selling recurring accounting and payroll services. That matters when a buyer is comparing firms, questioning a monthly fee, worried about switching, or unsure what level of service is right.
We bring structure and ownership to those conversations, then hand won clients back to your team with the context needed for a clean start.
Straight answers before you book.
