Write for Us Accounting: Accounting Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Accounting content for small businesses is either too technical or too vague to act on. What this blog wants is the practical view from someone who does the books: the mistakes they see, the systems that save hours, and what an owner should change this month.

My readers run small businesses and often do their own books until it hurts. They want fewer surprises, cleaner records and more time, so an accounting post has to explain the fix plainly and show how it worked for a real client.

60-second accounting guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you work with the kind of clients you describe
• Do you have a real example, a time saving or a result
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Have you said when the reader should get professional advice

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• The bookkeeping mistake you see most often, and how a client fixed it
• A month end routine that saved an owner hours, step by step
• How an accounting practice grew through content or referrals, with the result
• Automation or software that cut real admin time, and what it replaced
• Cash flow habits that kept a small business steady, with an example

If your post could be published on any accounting site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

• Tax scare stories written to sell a service
• Promotion of one firm, app or software
• Generic finance tips with no client experience behind them
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong accounting pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about why small businesses need an accountant." A strong one says "Most of my new clients were reconciling once a quarter and finding problems too late, so I want to show the fifteen minute weekly routine we moved them to and what it caught in the first month." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• The most common bookkeeping mistake
• A month end routine that saves hours
• Growing an accounting practice
• A system an owner could set up this week
• A contrarian view on DIY bookkeeping apps

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept accounting guest posts?

Yes. Accounting guest posts are welcome from an accountant, bookkeeper, fractional finance lead or practice owners and similar writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline tax scare stories written to sell a service.

What accounting topics do you accept?

We accept bookkeeping for small businesses, month end routines, cash flow habits, accounting automation and software, growing an accounting practice, and what owners should fix first. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview of accounting.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn, or a guest slot on another site under a different name. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before it goes live.

How do I submit an accounting guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience doing the work you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before writing a full draft.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long should an accounting guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that do well here usually run from 1,000 to 1,800 words. Long enough to show the example and the numbers, short enough that a busy owner finishes it. Cut anything that repeats what the reader already knows.

What makes an accounting pitch stand out?

A real result in the first sentence. Say what you did, what changed and over what period, then say what the reader will be able to copy. For example: Most of my new clients were reconciling once a quarter and finding problems too late, so I want to show the fifteen minute weekly routine we moved them to and what it caught in the first month.
