We designed the AccountingMatch.com Web site to become a valuable resource for small business owners struggling with accounting, tax and business management issues, said Build Your Firm chief marketing officer Hugh Duffy in a statement. In researching the marketplace, we learned that small-business owners wanted something more than just a directory of accounting firms that was nothing more than an electronic telephone book. We want to ensure that visitors to AccountingMatch.com have the relevant information they need in one location, including helpful articles, financial tools and a directory of accounting professionals that we are familiar with.
AccountingMatch.com provides a library of information, including articles on topics such as
tax break tips and estate planning. The site also provides financial tools such as tax due-date reminders, refund tracking, retirement planning calculators, and a Getting Started menu that guides users on how to select, meet and work with an accountant.
The AccountingMatch system is set up so that accounting professionals can provide small-business owners with more information about their accounting practice prior to the initial consultation. That way, prospects have enough information to make an informed decision about which accounting firm is best for them, and participating accounting firms have higher-quality prospects.
