--- title: "Accountant Website Design in Ontario | UXPro" description: "Websites for Ontario accountants and bookkeepers: service pages by situation, a deadline calendar, and forms that collect enough to quote." type: industry audience: "Accountants, CPAs and bookkeepers in Ontario" reviewed: 2026-10-17 canonical: https://uxpro.ca/industries/accountants publisher: "UXPro Design Studio" license: "Quote freely with a link to the canonical URL." --- # Accountant and bookkeeper websites Reviewed 17 October 2026. Canonical page: https://uxpro.ca/industries/accountants What their customers come to the site to do: 1. Find the service for their kind of return or business 2. See roughly what it costs before booking 3. Send documents by a route that is not email **From $3,500 CAD per project, plus HST** ## What should an accountant's website do? It should sort enquiries before you speak to them. Pages written by situation, not by service name: incorporation, HST registration, late returns, a bookkeeping clean-up, a CRA letter. A deadline calendar people bookmark and return to. Fees stated as ranges with what moves them. And a form that captures entity type, year end and the mess, so your first reply can be a quote. | Fact | Value | |---|---| | Typical timeline | Typically four to six weeks | | Typical size | A custom site of five to ten pages | | Best time to build | May to November | | Form fields | 5 to 6, all of them for quoting | | The page people bookmark | The deadline calendar | | What you supply | Fee ranges, client types, deadlines | | Price | From $3,500 CAD + HST | | Plan fit | Growth, $650 a month, before the season | ## What this sector changes about the build. The constraints on the right are the pages the site needs because of them. Pages this site needs: - One page per situation: Incorporation, HST, late returns, clean-ups, CRA letters, payroll. - The deadline calendar: Dates, what each one means, and who it applies to. Kept current every year. - Fees and how you work: Ranges with what moves them, plus whether you work monthly or per engagement. - Who you work with: Trades, clinics, restaurants, contractors: name the client types you want more of. - A quoting form: Entity type, year end, volume, software, what is behind. Five or six fields. - Document handling: How receipts and statements reach you securely, and what you never want emailed. ### People search by situation, not by service Nobody types "corporate tax compliance services". They type "I have not filed in three years" or "do I need to register for HST". One page per situation, named the way they say it, answered in the first paragraph. That is both the ranking strategy and the qualifying strategy. - Incorporation and getting set up - HST registration and filing - Late or unfiled returns - Bookkeeping clean-up and catch-up - A letter or review from the CRA - Payroll and remittances ### The form should make your first reply a quote Entity type, year end, roughly how many transactions a month, what software they use, and what is behind. Five or six fields, all of them there to let you price the job. A form that asks only for a name and a message guarantees a phone call before you know whether the work is worth taking. - Entity type: sole proprietor, corporation, partnership - Year end and how far behind they are - Software in use, or none - Rough transaction volume ### A deadline calendar earns links and return visits Instalments, T4s and T5s, HST filing periods, corporate year ends, the personal filing date. Written as dates with what each one means, kept current, and marked up so a search engine can lift it. It is the page clients bookmark and the page other sites link to. ### Fee ranges beat "contact us for pricing" A range with what moves it filters out the enquiry you would decline and reassures the one you want. It also answers the question that sends people to three other sites. You do not have to publish a rate card; you have to publish enough for someone to know whether to call. ## What we can show a buyer in this sector. An accounting study drawn around February to April: the deadline, the document checklist and a secure upload on top, and fees by client type. - **[Carrow Tax & Bookkeeping](https://uxpro.ca/work/carrow-tax)** (Accounting · concept site · Concept): A tax-season mode that puts the deadline, the document checklist and a secure upload on top, with “from” fees by client type. Carrow Tax & Bookkeeping — the receipt a client keeps, from the fee to the reference number · studio concept Carrow Tax & Bookkeeping is a concept: no firm commissioned it and nothing was measured. No accounting practice is a client yet, so none is implied. ## The compliance work is a line item, not a paragraph. Professional bodies restrict how accountants describe themselves and their results. We write to that and check it before launch. Named deliverables: - Designation and claim review: CPA designation used correctly, no guaranteed refunds or outcomes, no implied audit or assurance work you do not perform, and client names used only with written permission. - Document intake review: What the site collects, what should go to your portal instead, and the line that tells people not to email a statement. - [AODA and WCAG 2.2 AA pass](https://uxpro.ca/services/compliance/aoda): Keyboard path, contrast, heading order, focus states and form labels checked before launch, and again on every care-plan review. ## What a build for this sector costs. How we price it: **From $3,500 CAD per project, plus HST.** A custom site of five to ten pages is typical. Build in the quiet half of the year: a site that goes live in October has time to be found before the season, and nobody is editing copy in March. Add-ons: extra article $220 · extra page $450 · hourly $120. All figures are CAD and exclude tax. Month-to-month. Cancel any time. No annual pricing exists. Changes the price: - How many situation pages you want written. - Whether fee ranges are published, which is a decision more than a build task. - Whether a client portal or document intake is linked or integrated. - How many locations and staff bios there are. Not included: - Accounting or tax advice. We write to what you tell us. - Portal, e-signature and practice software licences. - Bookkeeping software set-up for your clients. - Ad spend. ## Ontario, from Kitchener.

A site that launches in October has months to be indexed and found before the personal filing season, and you are not approving copy during your busiest weeks. A March launch is possible and it is nobody's favourite. ### Should we publish our fees? Publish ranges with what moves them. It filters out the enquiries you would decline and reassures the ones you want, and it answers the question that otherwise sends people to three other sites. A full rate card is optional; silence is expensive. ### What should the enquiry form ask? Entity type, year end, roughly how many transactions a month, what software they use, and how far behind they are. Five or six fields, each one there so your first reply can be a quote instead of a request for a call. ### Can we show client names and logos? Only with written permission, and many clients will not give it for tax work. Naming the client types you serve, such as trades, clinics and restaurants, does the same job without the risk, and it gives each of those searches a page that answers it. ## Guides for this sector, and the services it usually buys.
