Professional services are bought on trust. Before a business owner calls an accountant, lawyer, HR consultant or advisor, they check whether that firm looks credible and knows their situation. Social media is where that check now happens, especially on LinkedIn and Facebook. Here are 30 post ideas for accountants and other professional firms.

Frequently asked questions
Which social media platform is best for accountants?
LinkedIn for reaching business owners and decision-makers, and Facebook or Instagram for local small businesses and sole proprietors. Most firms do well posting the same core content on two platforms.
How often should an accounting firm post?
Two to three times a week is enough. Increase it before major deadlines, when clients are actively looking for help.
Can the templates be used for LinkedIn?
Yes. The square and portrait layouts work on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook, and you can resize them in Canva.
