Attractive Design
Simply put, Emochila offers the best looking web design for your CPA or Accounting firm, no matter your budget.
If you're just starting your accounting firm, we offer hundreds of CPA templates which have been pre-designed and are free of charge! For more established accounting firms, we recommend custom graphic design work. When current and potential clients visit your website, you have just seconds to make positive impression. It isn't difficult to come up with a unique CPA website design. In fact, the process is quite simple. You'll work one-on-one with a graphic designer until you are satisfied with the CPA website design. If you have a specific vision in mind for what you'd like your site to look like, great. If you're not exactly sure what you would like your site to look like, don't worry! Our graphic designers have all studied at premier art schools across the nation and have created thousands of accounting website designs. As a result, the custom CPA website designs Emochila produces are cutting edge, attractive, and original!

Professional Content
The major barrier in creating a website for an accounting firm is developing interesting, relevant, and professional content.
Emochila creates and maintains thousands of websites exclusively for CPA and Accounting firms. As a result, we have hundreds of pages of professional content pre-written and ready to put on your accounting website. We have pre-written content for every single page on your site! With your new Emochila accounting website, you can use our foundation of text as a starting point, and tailor the content as much as you like. Plus, we will add pictures, videos, bios, and create as many custom pages as you like!
Client Portals
Client portals are essential to the modern Accounting firm.
Tax software files containing your clients' sensitive financial information should not be trusted to email applications. In fact, when you send an email from your computer, it hits several different servers before it reaches your intended recipient. This leaves private documents vulnerable to prying eyes of competitors, scammers, spam robots, and worse! With our secure online file transfer and storage system you can rest assured everything that travels through the CPA portal is encrypted with 256 bit SSL encryption. That's as secure as the internet gets!
"Beginning with the 2007 tax season, Chesapeake Tax & Accounting, LLC began to provide secured file transfers with our clients via our Emochila designed and hosted website. We receive at least two calls per week from clients thanking us for our concern and care for the privacy and protection of their personal information. Equally important, we receive calls from their friends, family, and business associates that they refer to us. Thanks for the great technology and service that enhanced our ability to provide superior customer service."

Client Retention Tools
Automated Monthly Newsletter
A monthly newsletter is a great way to keep in touch with your clients to remind them that you are hard at work, while they focus on their business. Newsletters are time consuming to write, and difficult to distribute. Emochila makes it easy! Every month, we write up a newsletter and we'll send it out to a list of your clients' email addresses automatically. If you'd like to edit it, to add a personal note at the end, or some news about the firm, great! Plus, we'll use your header and colors from the site so all your branding matches. In addition, when you log into your AppMan account, you can send newsletters out whenever you want. We give you the ability to manage different distribution lists as a way to send targeted newsletters to specific groups of your clients. For instance, if you wanted to remind your payroll clients about a deadline coming up, you can log in, draft your newsletter, preview what it will look like, and then distribute it to a list of only your payroll clients. We have newsletter templates that you can use as a starting point, or start fresh and write your own, completely original newsletter and save it for future use!
Online Appointment Requests
With your Emochila website page, we'll create a contact page that ensures your clients are able to get in touch with you. We'll post a map with your address on the site so they know where your office is, and how to get there. If something urgent comes up and they need to get you on the phone, we'll list the office number. Clients and prospective clients can send you a message through this page. They can get driving directions and also have a map so they know the best route to your office. Best of all, they can set up appointments with you right from your website, via the 'Request an Appointment' section. When they click on the Request button, an email is sent to you. Here you can confirm and setup appointments with your clientele. This is a fantastic feature for busy clients who need to meet with you, allowing them easy access to set up an appointment. Plus, you can even display a calendar with your schedule so that your clients can see when you're busy!
Financial Calculators
How many times do you receive phone calls requiring mathematical computations from your clients that take a lot of your valuable time to answer? We have a system which not only allows your clients and prospective clients to discover these answers from YOU faster and more accurately, but WITHOUT TAKING YOUR TIME. We offer more than 120 different financial calculators ranging from taxation to estate planning. This way, if your clients have simple calculation questions, they can save time for themselves and you by just going to your website. Just another useful feature of our accounting sites that bring your client to your website and keep them there.
Accept Credit Card Payments Online
Give your client every opportunity to pay your fee. Rather than having them bring or mail a check to your office, allow them to pay you instantly online! Here's how it works: You sign up for an account with paypal, ask them for a snippet of code, and your account manager will put it on your site. It's a convenience for them and for you!
Marketing/Client Acquisition Tools
E-Newsletter Distribution System
Electronic newsletters are effective way to attract new clients. By sending out timely and useful tax tips, your clients are reminded that you are there working behind the scenes to do the heavy lifting that good accounting requires. Potential clients will be able to sign themselves up to receive the newsletter from your website. The only problem is that it takes time to generate interesting and relevant content. Your Emochila website solves this problem. We'll automatically send out a monthly newsletter on your behalf. We'll use your header and your colors from the website so that all the branding matches, and send it out to a list of your clients automatically. BUT, your Emochila E-newsletter is much more versatile than just one newsletter monthly. You can go in the system and create different lists of clients to send out targeted newsletters whenever you like.
Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a general term used to describe techniques used by web developers to bring a website up to the top of the major search engines (like Google, Yahoo!, and Bing). There are many different shapes and forms of SEO, and some of them cost several thousand dollars per month. Just another way you save by going with Emochila!
Referral Submission Form
Allow your clients to easily send you the names, phone numbers, and email addresses of their friends and co-workers who need accounting help. We have a pre-programmed button that will automatically send you an email when a new lead comes in. Then, you log into the AppMan, see your new lead and their contact info, as well as who it came from, and it's yours to follow up from there!
Detailed Traffic Statistics
See how effective your online presence actually is with our web traffic software. You'll be able to see how many unique and return visitors you have, what pages they are looking at, where they are coming from, how long they are staying, and more! Sound like more information than you can process? Don't worry, your account manager is here to walk you through everything step-by-step. They'll be able to help you interpret the information you receive, and offer suggestions to help improve your online presence.
Blog with Social Media Integration
A company blog is a great way to keep the online world privy to the inside workings of your CPA or Accounting firm. Did one of your associates just pass the CPA or EA exam? Post a picture and make an announcement on your website! Find an interesting article online? Post a link and spend five minutes to write some commentary. Your clients (and potential clients) will appreciate the time you take to keep them informed. Your Emochila blog also integrates with all of the major social media networks. So, when you post to your blog, it will automatically post to your linkedin, Twitter, and facebook accounts automatically. That way your clients will see the post, and come visit the site!
