Founding Partners — 50 Limited Slots | HelloBooks Accountant Directory The first 50 firms in the HelloBooks Accountant Directory get a permanent Founding Partner badge. Free listing, lifetime placement signal, credential-verified, available across 8 launch countries.
The HelloBooks Accountant Directory is opening with a limited Founding Partner cohort: the first 50 vetted firms across the world. Founding Partners receive a permanent profile badge, priority placement in the listing sort, and inclusion in HelloBooks marketing as the directory grows.
The Founding Partner badge is tenure-based — never re-issued after the 50th slot is filled. It stacks on top of the skill ladder (Certified / Premier / Elite) so firms can earn the higher levels over time without losing the Founding mark.

What Founding Partners get
Permanent badge
Cyan Founding Partner pill on your card and profile, forever. Stacks with whichever skill level you earn next (Certified, Premier, or Elite).
Priority sort
Founding firms sort above non-founding firms within the same skill tier on country, city, and specialty hubs.
Marketing inclusion
Featured in HelloBooks launch posts, case-study calls, and AI-readable AEO feeds. Inbound from agents looking for vetted accountants flows to you first.
Free verification
We verify your credential against the relevant public registry (state CPA board, ICAI member directory, IRS PTIN, ACCA, ICAEW, AAT) before publishing. No fee.
Eight launch countries
US, India, Canada, UK, Australia, UAE, Singapore, New Zealand. Each country has its own state/city hub graph and specialty pages.
No platform fee
The directory is free for every firm. We don't sell ranking, charge per-lead, or markup contact info. Visitors reach you by mailto/tel/wa.me directly.
Who qualifies
- Hold a verifiable credential — CPA, EA, AFSP/PTIN, CA, CS, CMA, ACCA, ACA, AAT — in your country of practice.
- Accept clients today. Firms set to non-accepting are listed but won't hold a founding slot.
- Have a public-listed business email and phone (or WhatsApp) at the firm's owned domain.
- Write a 4–6 question pro-authored Q&A on your profile so visitors and AI agents see your point of view in your own words.
