How Did We Pick and Order This List?
We looked for agencies with a page or offer built for accounting firms. Every claim was checked on that agency's own site on 15 October 2026, and where a fact came from a news report instead, the entry says so. This list covers marketing and lead generation. Agencies that sell visibility in artificial intelligence (AI) answers, known as answer engine optimisation (AEO), sit in our separate roundup of AEO agencies for accounting firms.
Agencies are grouped by the gap they fill, then by published starting fee within each group:
- Content on a small budget: BOMA Marketing.
- Search visibility: MITCO Digital, then Digital Next.
- No in-house marketer: Consortium, then Marketing Eye.
- Outbound into named accounts: Intelligent Resourcing, which sits last because it is the only entry with no published accounting result.
Those fees come in three currencies, so the order within a group is not a like-for-like price ranking. For agencies that serve every industry, see our list of top business-to-business (B2B) lead generation companies in Australia.
Why Do Accounting Firms Hire Marketing Help Now?
Buyers check a firm before they call it. A referral may give a name, but the website and search results decide whether the call happens.
- Buyers research alone first. A SurveyMonkey and Reddit study asked 1,202 United States business decision-makers. It found 83% self-research before speaking to sales, and 31% spend several weeks or more on it.
- Growing firms spend more on marketing. In a 2025 Association for Accounting Marketing and Hinge study of 87 firms, high-growth firms spent 2.1% of revenue on marketing, against 1% for the rest. The figure excludes compensation, and the firms are American.
- More service lines mean more buyers to reach. A firm that runs tax, audit and advisory sells to three kinds of client, each with different questions.
Both studies come from the United States, so treat them as direction for Australian firms. The pattern still fits local practice: buyers check a firm before they call, and firms that grow faster put more money behind being found.
Content on a Small Budget: BOMA Marketing
Best for: a small practice that wants regular posts, newsletters and blogs without hiring anyone.
What it does: BOMA sells a marketing platform built for accounting and bookkeeping firms, with a library of articles written for the profession. Its managed service plans add a team that runs the platform for you.
Strength: clear, low prices in Australian dollars. The Basic Digital Presence plan is $199 a month, Engagement and Growth is $499, and Custom SEO and Targeted Marketing starts at $899.
Price: from A$199 a month for the managed service.
What to ask for: which tier first includes search work and lead-capture content, and how leads reach a partner.
Limitation: the two lower tiers cover posting, analytics and social activity. Search work and lead-capture content start at the $899 tier. Client quotes on the pricing page praise ease of use, not leads won.
Being Found in Search: MITCO Digital and Digital Next
MITCO Digital
Best for: a firm that wants one accounting-only specialist to run its website, search, ads and email.
What it does: MITCO's packages for accountants run monthly. It also sells managed website hosting and its own customer relationship management (CRM) software for accountants.
Strength: MITCO says it has built marketing systems for 150+ accounting firms since 2018, and that it supports clients across the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia.
Price: from US$1,000 a month.
What to ask for: the price in Australian dollars, the contract length, and how enquiries reach your CRM.
Limitation: prices are in United States dollars, and its homepage gives no Australian office address, checked 15 October 2026.
Digital Next
Best for: a firm that prefers a local search team, a fixed process and live reporting.
What it does: Digital Next runs a marketing offer for accountants covering search, paid search and content. It starts with an audit, then builds a 90-day roadmap and reports on a dashboard it describes as updated daily.
Strength: it has offices in Melbourne and Brisbane, and its accounting page offers a free strategy call with no contracts.
Price: no fixed fee is published on the page linked here, checked 15 October 2026. The page quotes a rule of thumb of $75 to $150 an hour for most agencies, not its own rate.
What to ask for: the monthly fee once the roadmap is agreed, and which results will be reported each month.
Limitation: the accounting page names no accounting client and shows no accounting result.
No Marketer In-House: Consortium and Marketing Eye
Consortium
Best for: a partner-led firm that wants part-time marketing help without a large team.
What it does: Consortium is a United Kingdom agency. Its pricing page offers packages for legal and professional services firms. Today's Conveyancer reported its Australian launch with a Sydney-based lead, supported remotely by its team in Worthing.
Strength: it works only with professional services firms, so partners do not have to explain how their market works.
Price: its United Kingdom price list starts at £2,500 a month for an outsourced digital marketing executive, with a full marketing strategy from £3,100.
What to ask for: who leads the work in Australia, which hours overlap with yours, and the price in Australian dollars.
Limitation: most of the team works from England. The Australian launch was reported as a legal-sector expansion, so confirm the accounting experience before you brief it.
Marketing Eye
Best for: a firm that wants a whole marketing department, run from outside the practice.
What it does: Marketing Eye's accounting offer gives a firm a marketing manager backed by in-house content, design and public relations staff. A typical $3,000 month covers content, email campaigns, LinkedIn, Google Ads, website updates and reporting.
Strength: it says its sweet spot is accounting firms seeking to grow strongly over 5 years that know their marketing is stale.
Price: from $3,000 a month on its accounting page. Confirm the current fee, because agency packages change.
What to ask for: how many hours the monthly fee buys, and which accounting firms the team has worked with.
Limitation: the accounting page names no accounting client and no result.
Outbound to Named Accounts: Intelligent Resourcing
Best for: a firm with several partners and three or more service lines that wants to reach named businesses before they search.
What it does: Melbourne-based Intelligent Resourcing runs a service it calls GTM Engineering, short for go-to-market. It watches for public signs that a business may need a service, checks the business fits, and sends the right partner a task in the firm's CRM. The work runs on a managed retainer.
Strength: it is the only entry here built for outbound rather than inbound, and it publishes its full price range rather than a starting figure alone.
Price: A$3,500 to A$8,400 a month plus GST, published on its pricing page, checked 15 October 2026.
What to ask for: which signals fit your service lines, and what a partner sees when a task arrives.
Limitation: there is no published accounting client result yet, which is why it sits last. It does not run ads, content or social media.
Which Agencies Publish a Price, and in What Currency?
| Agency | Model | Accounting proof on its site | Starting price, 15 Oct 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BOMA Marketing | Accounting-only platform plus managed service | Client quotes on ease of use | A$199 a month |
| MITCO Digital | Accounting-only full-service agency | 150+ firms since 2018 | US$1,000 a month |
| Digital Next | Search-led agency with an accounting offer | No named accounting client | Not published |
| Consortium | Outsourced marketing for professional firms | Professional services only | £2,500 a month |
| Marketing Eye | Outsourced marketing department | No named accounting client | $3,000 a month |
| Intelligent Resourcing | Outbound lead generation | None published yet | A$3,500 a month plus GST |
Three currencies sit in one table here, so convert each fee to Australian dollars on the day you compare. Then check what the fee buys. A$199 from BOMA buys posting and reporting, while $3,000 from Marketing Eye buys a manager and a support team. The cheapest line is rarely the cheapest result.
Which Five Questions Make Agency Quotes Comparable?
Ask every agency the same five questions. The answers make the quotes comparable.
- Which accounting firms have you worked with? Look for named clients, not logos.
- Which channels do you run yourselves? Search, ads, content and outbound need different skills.
- What happens in the first 24 hours after an enquiry? Someone should own the reply and book the call.
- What does the first three months cost, in Australian dollars? Include setup fees and the currency.
- What do we keep if we stop? Ask about the website, content, data and reports.
Firms that want every channel to feed one system, rather than several tools, can read how automation works for professional services firms.
When Should a Firm Keep Marketing In-House?
Some firms do not need outside help yet. Keep marketing in-house when these hold:
- Referrals fill capacity: new work already arrives faster than the team can serve it.
- A partner owns follow-up: every enquiry gets a reply and a booked call within a day.
- One service line: a single offer to one type of client needs less marketing.
In that case, spend on service capacity first. Add an agency when growth targets need a second, trackable source of work, or when a new service line needs buyers the partner network does not reach. Either way, work through the eight checks to fix first before adding spend.
How Can a Firm Turn Marketing Into Booked Calls?
Whichever agency a firm picks, the test is the same: does a suitable enquiry become a booked call with the right partner? Track the source, owner and outcome of every enquiry in the CRM, so the firm can see which channel brings paying clients.
For firms that want to reach named businesses before they search, Intelligent Resourcing builds that outbound system.

FAQs
What does a marketing agency for an accounting firm actually do?
Most agencies on this list run search, ads, content, email or social media to bring enquiries to the firm's website. BOMA Marketing and Marketing Eye also handle newsletters. Intelligent Resourcing works the other way: it finds named businesses showing buying signals and routes them to a partner.
How much should an accounting firm spend on marketing?
In a 2025 study of 87 United States firms, high-growth firms spent 2.1% of revenue on marketing, about twice the rest, excluding compensation. On this list, published fees run from A$199 a month with BOMA Marketing to A$3,500 plus GST with Intelligent Resourcing.
Which of these agencies have a base in Australia?
Digital Next has offices in Melbourne and Brisbane, and Marketing Eye lists Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Intelligent Resourcing is based in Melbourne. Consortium has a Sydney-based lead but a team in England. MITCO Digital says it supports Australian clients but lists no local office.
Can a marketing agency work alongside an AEO provider?
Yes. A marketing agency brings enquiries through search, ads or outbound. An answer engine optimisation provider works on visibility in AI answers. For AEO specialists, see our separate accounting roundup.
Is an accounting-only agency worth paying more for?
Sometimes. An accounting-only agency knows the service lines and the buying questions, so briefing takes less time. A generalist with a strong search team can still win on results. Judge both on named accounting clients and on what happens after an enquiry arrives.
