Every Door Direct Mail · Accounting / Tax
EDDM for accountants & tax firms
Complex returns live in specific households: higher incomes, self-employment, side businesses. Those households cluster — and they decide in January.
Who your mail reaches — and why
For accounting and tax, our advisor targets higher-income and self-employed households, where tax and accounting demand runs highest — ranked by affluence with a self-employment floor, because Schedule C households need year-round help.
We rank neighborhoods for accounting / tax by:
- •Share of households earning $100k+
- •Self-employed share (with a floor)
- •Distance from your office
Every recommendation comes with a plain-language reason, and you can override it with a different audience in one click.
See the competition first
You see how many accounting businesses already mail each neighborhood — most self-employment-heavy pockets are an open market.
Your neighborhoods, exclusively
One Good Mail Co customer per neighborhood per category per month — when you book it, no other accounting / tax mailing through Good Mail Co shares those mailboxes that month.
One all-in price
From $0.86 per piece down to $0.66 at volume — printing, postage, and delivery included. A typical ~1,000-mailbox neighborhood runs about $860. Run your numbers.
Accounting firm marketing with direct mail
Tax and accounting work is seasonal and local, and clients stay for years once they find someone they trust. A card in nearby mailboxes before tax season reaches households that are unhappy with their current preparer or doing their own taxes for the last time.
- Mail in January, before people commit to a preparer for the season.
- Lead with what's included (filing, review, audit support) and a new-client offer.
- Mention small-business services if you offer them — they're higher value.

Common questions
When should tax preparers send EDDM?
Early January, landing before W-2s and 1099s arrive — you want to be the plan, not the backup. A second touch in early March catches procrastinators and extension filers.
What does EDDM cost for an accounting firm?
One flat all-in rate covers printing, postage, and delivery: from $0.86 per piece, dropping to $0.66 at higher volumes. A typical neighborhood of about 1,000 mailboxes runs about $860. Try the numbers yourself with our free EDDM cost calculator.
What offer works for tax mail?
A concrete new-client offer (fixed-price return, free prior-year review) with credentials up front. For self-employed-heavy areas, lead with quarterly/bookkeeping services, not just the annual return.
How do accounting and tax firms get new clients?
Mostly through referrals and local search, with a big seasonal spike in January. Direct mail to nearby neighborhoods just before tax season reaches households that are ready to switch preparers.
Why not just use the free USPS EDDM tool?
You can — USPS delivers the mail either way, and we use the same postal rails. But the free tool only shows routes and takes your postage; it won't tell a accounting / tax business which neighborhoods are actually worth mailing, print your cards, bundle them to spec, or handle the forms and the post-office drop. That's the work that decides whether the campaign pays off, and it's what our flat rate includes.
