The Benefits of Influencer Marketing for Accounting Firms

Accounting firms are probably the last thing you’d expect influencers to promote when thinking about influencer marketing in the traditional sense. However, the influencers you choose to market your firm don’t need to have millions of followers across Instagram and TikTok. Instead, influencer marketing for accounting firms involves collaborating with industry experts or well-known professionals in the financial space to promote your firm’s services, establish credibility, and reach a broader audience through the influencer’s online presence.

Credibility and Trust

When reputable influencers endorse your accounting firm, their audience is more likely to perceive your services as reliable and trustworthy, resulting in increased credibility and a stronger reputation within your industry.

Increased Reach

Partnering with influencers exposes your accounting firm to a wider audience beyond your usual reach, tapping into their followers and extending your brand's visibility to attract new clients and generate leads.

Brand Awareness

Influencer marketing allows your accounting firm to gain exposure and recognition among a targeted audience, enhancing brand awareness and ensuring that your firm remains top-of-mind when potential clients require accounting services.

Boosts Engagement and Sales

Influencers can create engaging content that resonates with their followers, leading to increased engagement among their audience with your services, ultimately driving higher conversions and sales.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR INFLUENCER MARKETING FOR ACCOUNTING FIRMS

When it comes to influencer marketing for accounting firms, communication is key. There is no quick fix; a lack of preparation and nurturing will lead to a lack of results. If you want to achieve results that make a difference, you need to be working with influencers that want to drive change – and they must be aligned with your brand. Architecture firms have long depended on traditional methods of marketing to generate their opportunities. Those methods still have a role to play, but on their own they’re no longer sufficient. Here are some key considerations for an architecture firm’s digital marketing strategy:

HOW TO MASTER INFLUENCER MARKETING

The very first step of any influencer marketing campaign should always be to research your influencers. And this must not start and end with follower counts and engagement levels. Real results come from campaigns based on relevant metrics; if you’re focusing solely on vanity metrics, you can expect your campaigns to barely scratch the surface (in most cases). Of course, there will be some campaigns where vanity metrics are relevant – it’s all about aligning the metrics to your goals, so look at things on a case by case basis. 

Whilst metrics will change from time to time, one thing should always be certain: every influencer you work with must be aligned with your brand. As we’ve already mentioned, the success of influencer marketing for accounting firms relied on the firm’s ability to select the right influencers for their brand; this means understanding who their audience is, their interests and passions and where their expertise lie. Remember: relevance is of the utmost importance. 

Some examples of key influencers within the accountancy industry include:

– Stephen Kelly, FinTech

– Helen Miller, Tax

– Larysa Melnychuk, Financial Planning & Analysis

– Judith Freedman, Tax Law

– Gary Boomer, Technology Innovation & Firm Practice Management

MANAGING INFLUENCER MARKETING

We’ve discussed the importance of communication for effective influencer marketing campaigns, but how do you ensure this happens? Well, the first step should be to take time to get to know your influencers. Rome wasn’t built in a day; good things take time to develop, and you must be prepared to invest time and resources to make it work. Before partnering with an influencer, you should understand who they are and why they want to work with you. If they have no interest in your accounting firm, this will likely come across to their audience.

Once you’re happy you’ve made the right decision, draw up a contract and communication plan so to set and manage expectations from the get-go. This should include everything from frequency and method of communication to campaign goals, payment amounts and dates and timelines. You need to ensure everyone is on the same page to avoid any misunderstandings or conflicts occurring further down the line.

MAKING THE MOST OF INFLUENCER MARKETING

It’s all very well getting influencers on board, but to maximise results you need to ensure you are making the most of your content. These people are industry experts, so they know a thing or two about creating captivating content; all you need to do is figure out how best to use it. 

When it comes to influencer marketing for accounting firms, interviews and podcasts are more common, so think about how you can capitalise on this type of content. Whether it’s creating an article (or series of posts depending on the length of your interview) or taking key quotes to share via social media or email. 

Along with the above, analytics should be your best friend. As an accountant, you’ll know all about the importance of numbers. And guess what – they are just as important when it comes to influencer marketing. To evaluate the effectiveness of your campaigns, you should closely monitor the performance of relevant metrics throughout. This will enable you to make changes where necessary and help you to make informed decisions about the types of content and channels to prioritise moving forward.
