The Situation

Technically excellent.
Commercially passive.

This BC-based accounting firm offered fractional CFO services to companies across Canada. The team was strong: technically capable, professionally credible, and comfortable in client relationships. What they were not comfortable in was proactive sales.

Like many professional services firms, new business came when someone already knew them. There was no system for generating relationships with companies who didn't already know they existed.

The fractional accounting model is also seasonal. This made a consistent, always-on outreach system particularly valuable. BitWide was a natural fit: a similarly structured outsourced service model that could run the outreach function the firm's team had no appetite to run themselves.

No Sales Instinct on the Team
The accountants were technically strong and comfortable with clients, but proactive outreach was not a skill or an interest. Any sales system needed to run without their active participation.
Seasonal Demand Fluctuation
Accounting services see heavier demand during certain periods. The campaign needed to build pipeline during slower periods so the business wasn't constantly reacting to feast-and-famine cycles.
Trust-Based Buying Decision
Companies looking for a fractional CFO are making a high-trust decision. The LinkedIn outreach needed to build credibility and relevance before asking for a conversation.
What We Built

A relationship-first LinkedIn system
that ran without the team.

BitWide built an outreach system calibrated for a high-trust, relationship-driven sale, designed to open conversations rather than push for immediate commitments.

01
ICP Definition and Seasonal Strategy
BitWide worked with the firm to define the ideal client profile and built a campaign strategy that accounted for seasonal demand. Outreach volume and messaging were calibrated to build pipeline ahead of peak periods rather than reacting to gaps after they appeared.
02
LinkedIn Connection and Nurture Sequences
Connection requests were sent to SMB founders and senior leaders who fit the client profile. Follow-up sequences focused on establishing professional credibility and opening a genuine dialogue about financial operations, rather than pitching services directly.
03
Full Conversation Management
BitWide handled all incoming responses and conversations. Interested prospects were qualified on company size, current finance function, and whether a fractional CFO engagement was relevant, before being passed to the client team for a first call.
04
Ongoing Reporting and Optimisation
Weekly reporting tracked connection acceptance rates, response rates, and conversations progressing to meetings. Messaging was adjusted based on which angles were generating genuine dialogue with the right profile of prospect.
What the System Produced

Consistent pipeline.
Without anyone having to sell.

The campaign gave the firm an always-on lead generation function that ran without drawing on the team's time or comfort zone.

Engagement
Continued beyond initial term

The engagement gave the firm what it had never had: a consistent, predictable source of new relationship opportunities. The team could continue focusing on delivery while the system built pipeline in the background.

The seasonal strategy meant the firm was building pipeline before they needed it rather than scrambling during slow periods. LinkedIn proved the right channel: the professional context made outreach credible, and personalised messages based on a prospect's company and role made conversations feel relevant rather than generic.

Great at delivery.
Ready to stop relying on referrals.

If your team has no appetite for sales but your business needs new clients, that's exactly the situation BitWide is designed for. Book a call.
