How AccountedLTD Achieved 675K Video Views on TikTok in 4 Months

AccountedLTD, a London-based accounting services firm, partnered with Skouter Digital to establish a presence on TikTok and reach younger business owners and entrepreneurs. Despite operating in a traditionally conservative industry with zero social media presence, AccountedLTD achieved remarkable results through strategic, trend-aware content that made complex financial topics accessible and engaging.

Key Results:

675,000 total video views in 4 months
1 hyper-viral video reaching 500,000 views
Doubled follower count from baseline
7-9% average engagement rate (above platform average)
Inbound inquiries from TikTok diversifying lead sources
Brand repositioning as modern, accessible accounting firm

The Challenge

AccountedLTD faced several obstacles in their digital marketing:

Limited Digital Presence
The firm had zero social media presence and no experience creating video content. In an industry where most competitors rely on traditional referrals and networking, they needed to differentiate themselves digitally.

Conservative Industry Perception
Accounting is traditionally viewed as dry, technical, and difficult to make engaging. Creating content that would resonate on an entertainment-focused platform like TikTok seemed nearly impossible.

Target Audience Shift
AccountedLTD wanted to attract younger business owners, freelancers, and entrepreneurs who increasingly consume content on TikTok but weren't being reached through traditional marketing channels.

Resource Constraints
As a small firm, they lacked internal resources for content creation, filming, editing, and social media management. They needed an efficient approach that wouldn't drain team time.

Competitive Differentiation
With numerous accounting firms offering similar services, AccountedLTD needed a way to stand out and be remembered by potential clients in a crowded market.

What We Did

Phase 1: Audience Research & Strategy Development

Before creating any content, we conducted deep research to understand AccountedLTD's target audience on TikTok:

Audience Pain Points Identified:

Confusion about tax obligations and deadlines
Stress about bookkeeping and financial organization
Anxiety about compliance and avoiding penalties
Uncertainty about business expense deductions
Fear of making costly financial mistakes

Platform Analysis:

Studied successful "FinTok" and "BusinessTok" content
Identified trending formats in business education space
Analysed what made financial content shareable
Mapped optimal posting times and frequency

Content Strategy Developed:

Focus: Demystifying accounting and tax topics
Tone: Approachable, educational, slightly humorous
Format: Short, digestible tips (30-75 seconds)
Approach: Leverage trends while maintaining professionalism

Phase 2: Strategic Content Days Implementation

We implemented our strategic content days approach to maximize filming efficiency:

Content Day Structure:

Filmed 10-15 video concepts in single 3-4 hour sessions
Captured multiple takes and alternative angles
Shot b-roll footage (office scenes, paperwork, team interactions)
Created backup content library for trend adaptation

Phase 3: Trend-Aware Content Creation

Rather than creating generic accounting content, we leveraged TikTok's trending formats. Key principle: we didn't force AccountedLTD into trending sounds or formats that felt inauthentic. Instead, we identified trends that naturally aligned with accounting education and adapted them strategically.

Phase 4: Authentic, Camera-Facing Content

We prioritized algorithm-friendly content formats:

What We Did:

Real team members on camera (not graphic videos)
Authentic office settings (not studio production)
Natural speaking style (not scripted corporate speak)
Phone-filmed aesthetic (not overly polished)

What We Avoided:

Text-on-screen graphic videos (algorithm unfriendly)
Overly promotional content
Complex jargon without explanation
Trending audio that didn't fit brand

Phase 5: Consistent Publishing & Optimization

Publishing Schedule:

3-5 videos per week for consistent algorithm presence
Strategic posting times (lunch hours, evening scrolling times)
Mix of planned and trend-responsive content

Continuous Optimization:

Analyzed which topics drove highest engagement
Tested different hook styles in opening 3 seconds
A/B tested caption lengths and CTA formats
Refined content based on comment questions
