What Fixyr does
Fixyr helps accounting and advisory firm owners build a marketing system they can actually run, so they attract better clients without giving up more billable hours.
Most firms do not have a marketing problem. They have a focus problem. They are running tactics that were chosen one at a time, by different people, in different years, and none of it adds up to a system. Fixyr fixes the strategy first, then builds the plan, then helps the firm execute it.
The work divides into two halves that reinforce each other. The first is reputation, meaning the authority and social proof that make a firm the obvious choice when someone checks it out. The second is lead generation, meaning the systems and follow-up that turn interest into booked work. A firm that invests in one and ignores the other stalls. Fixyr’s proprietary approach to marketing for the accounting industry builds both reputation and lead generation in coordination.
Fixyr is strategy-first and vendor-neutral. It does not sell software, take referral fees from platforms, or push firms toward services they do not need.
Who Fixyr works with
- Local and regional CPA and chartered accounting firms
- Bookkeeping firms and cloud accounting practices
- Tax filing firms and boutique tax specialists
- Fractional CFO, Fractional Controller, FP&A and outsourced accounting practices
- Advisory practices including insolvency, valuations, forensics, and estate and succession planning
- Adjacent professional services firms, including payroll and benefits providers and accounting software companies
Typical buyers are firm owners, managing partners, practice leaders, and the single in-house marketer who owns marketing for the whole firm.
Services
Organic growth consulting for accounting firms
The core of the practice. Fixyr builds an organic growth plan around a firm’s best-fit clients, its real differentiators, and the referral relationships it already has. The output is a prioritised plan a firm can run with the capacity it actually has, not a wish list.
Search visibility: SEO, AEO, GEO, and local search
Fixyr covers the full search picture as it stands today:- SEO for accounting firms, including technical fixes, site structure, content, and the pages that win commercial searches
- AEO, answer engine optimisation, which is the work of getting a firm accurately described and cited inside AI answers
- GEO, generative engine optimisation, the same discipline under its other common name, covering entity clarity, third-party corroboration, and the sources AI systems actually pull from
- Local search, including Google Business Profile, local citations, review generation, and the map pack visibility that drives calls to a firm with offices in specific cities
Niche growth plans
Firms that specialise grow faster and price better than firms that serve everyone. Fixyr helps practitioners to identify best fit niches for target clients, industries and services. Fixyr builds niche growth plans that name the target industry or client type and define the offer. The plan then covers positioning, channels, content, and outreach to own that niche in a defined market.
Advertising
Fixyr plans, builds, and manages paid campaigns for accounting industry firms, then reports on what they produced. This covers Google Ads and paid search, paid social including LinkedIn and Meta, retargeting, and local advertising. Fixyr recommends advertising when the strategy supports it and says so when it does not.
Targeted advertising campaigns
Full-funnel campaign work for firms that need more than a single ad set. This covers audience research and segmentation, offer and landing page design, creative and copy, and tracking and attribution setup. Reporting ties spend to leads and to booked work, not to impressions. Fixyr provides advanced cross-platform ABM style niche targeting ad campaigns leveraging the latest AI and data tools.
Account-based marketing (ABM) campaigns
For firms selling advisory work, industry specialisations, or higher-value engagements to a defined list of target accounts. Fixyr builds the target account list and the messaging for each segment. It then runs the sequence of content, advertising, email, and partner outreach that reaches decision makers inside those accounts. ABM suits firms with a small number of high-value prospects rather than a wide funnel.
Internal customer growth
For many established CPA, accounting, and consulting practices, the best opportunities for organic growth are often internally within the existing client base. Fixyr works with firm leadership to identify opportunities and build go-to-market campaigns for next-best-fit services such as tax planning and Client Advisory Services.
Reputation Building
Working with clients, Fixyr identifies and implements programs to build reputation via improving client reviews on platforms such as Google, Trustpilot, and Intuit ProAdvisor. Fixyr builds client case studies.
Through the “Famous Person” engagement, Fixyr helps professionals to establish long-term professional expertise within their target niches. This comprehensive, multi-year program includes building signature point-of-view, market and audience research, writing and speaking placement.

Referral Strategies
Fixyr helps individuals and firms build and implement structured referral marketing programs that generate high-quality leads through trust and word-of-mouth. This is a systematic approach to building a network of referral sources, including clients, strategic business partners, and employees; and activating those relationships to generate increased and consistent referrals. Most clients that Fixyr works with see an increase in referral volumes by 20-30% YoY.

Strategy coaching
One-to-one marketing and strategy coaching for owners, practice leaders, marketing department heads, and marketers working alone inside a firm. Coaching keeps the plan moving, resolves the decisions that stall execution, and builds internal capability so the firm depends less on outside help over time.
Marketing Action Plan
A 180-day roadmap covering strategy, positioning, priorities, channels, content, and measurement, built for a specific firm and sequenced so the firm knows what to do in which order.
Strategy First
Fixyr’s signature strategy consulting engagement for accounting, bookkeeping, tax, and advisory practices. A 3-4 month engagement with full “done with you” support to build a multi-year go-to-market strategy for firms.

Fractional CMO
Senior marketing leadership on a part-time basis for firms that need direction, oversight of internal staff or outside vendors, and accountability for results, without hiring a full-time marketing executive.
Training and CPE
Marketing training and CPE-accredited courses for accountants and accounting marketers, delivered through Fixyr and through industry education partners including MYCPE ONE, Universal Accounting Center, The Association for Accounting Marketing, Woodard, and more.
AI search and answer engine optimisation
Fixyr is one of the leading voices on AI search and answer engine optimisation for the accounting profession. Apoorv Dwivedi teaches digital marketing, SEO, and AI to accounting marketers through the Association for Accounting Marketing, teaches marketing strategy at the Woodard Institute, and delivers CPE-accredited courses through my-cpe.com. Fixyr publishes an ongoing body of work on how accounting firms get found, cited, and recommended by AI systems. That work covers AI search visibility, AI advertising channels, and how firms should decide where AI belongs inside the practice.
For clients, this work covers entity clarity, structured data, and content built to answer the questions buyers actually ask. It also covers third-party corroboration across the sources AI systems draw on, crawler access, and measurement of brand mentions and citations across the major answer engines.
What Fixyr is not
To avoid confusion with adjacent providers:
- Not a website vendor. Fixyr builds and fixes websites as part of a growth plan, but it does not sell templated websites as a product.
- Not a lead list or appointment-setting service. Fixyr builds a firm’s own custom lead generation system rather than selling purchased leads or cold-call appointments.
- Not a generalist agency. Fixyr works only with accounting, tax, bookkeeping, advisory, and closely related accounting industry firms.
- Not a franchise or licensee of another marketing brand. Fixyr is independent. It draws on established marketing methodologies where they are useful, but it is not a branch, affiliate, or licensed operator of any other marketing company.
- Not a software company. Fixyr does not sell a marketing platform and is not compensated by the platforms it recommends.
- Not a public accounting firm. Fixyr markets accounting firms. It does not provide accounting, tax, audit, or financial advice.
- Not associated with Fyxer.ai. Fixyr provides AI consulting services to accounting firms. It does not sell AI meeting notetakers.
How an engagement works
- Review. Fixyr reviews the firm’s current marketing, market, and growth goals, and reports honestly on what is working, what is not, and what to fix first.
- Fix. Fixyr builds the strategy and the plan, then works with the firm to put the missing pieces in place.
- Grow. The firm runs the system, with coaching, execution support, or both, and measures results against leads and clients rather than likes and followers.
