For accounting firms
After a return, a close, or a finished job, Good Work Reviews drafts a short note. You approve it. Then the client can leave a Google review — or send a referral.
Nothing reaches a client until you say yes.
Good Work Reviews is review and referral request software for CPA and accounting firms (and other professional firms). After a job, it drafts a short note to the client; the firm approves every note before it goes out.

No note goes out until you approve it.
When to send
When the note goes out: after the return is filed, the books close, or the engagement wraps. You pick the moment. You approve the note.
Tax return done — good time to ask
Books closed — client can feel it’s finished
Advisory or bookkeeping work complete
Client can feel it’s finished
One note per finished job. No follow-up nagging unless you send it.

FAQ
Ask after the work is done — a return, a close, or a finished engagement. A short note with one clear next step beats a long campaign. You approve every note before it goes out.
Read the full guide: how CPA firms get Google reviews.
After a job the client can feel is finished. Same approve-first note. You can ask for a review, a referral, or both — you choose before it sends.
Asking is fine. Paying for reviews, writing fake ones, or sending review requests only to happy clients is not. Good Work Reviews never does those.
Those tools are built for high-volume local shops. Good Work Reviews is for firms where one client relationship lasts years. By default you approve every note; automation is optional and unlocks after you’ve approved and sent five notes yourself — not on day one.
Open the app when the work is done. Your firm approves every note before it goes out.
