Plan four weeks of CPA CAM posts
Build CAM posts from real client questions. Add an evidence lesson and a next step. Skip broad sales claims.
CPA.com describes CAS as advice backed by data. Its CAS guide supports that teaching role. It does not prove social results.
Use this four-week grid
Publish one post weekly. Add the exact source before approval.
| Week | Client question | Post type | Proof needed | CTA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One | What should I save? | File checklist | Firm intake list | Ask for the checklist |
| Two | Why does this line matter? | Evidence lesson | Public source or redacted example | Ask a process question |
| Three | How does review work? | Workflow | Approved firm process | Request a scope call |
| Four | When should I ask? | Invitation | Lease-based timing note | Send the file list |
LinkedIn suggests tracking topic, reader, owner, and channel. It also suggests checking later replies. See LinkedIn's calendar guide.
Add approval fields
| Field | Required entry |
|---|---|
| Audience | One client role |
| Question | One real advisory question |
| Source | Direct link or firm process |
| Proof status | Public, redacted, or internal |
| Reviewer | Named CPA |
| Claim check | No outcome promise |
| Next step | One client action |
A trade report says clear CAS niches can help. That supports focused CAM posts. It does not prove leads.
Copy this example post
A CAM number needs two anchors.
A statement line shows the landlord's bill. The lease sets charge terms.
Keep both files together. Include every signed amendment. Our firm checks the source trail before any client conclusion.

This example states a method. It makes no client claim. It also keeps the CPA visible.
Stop unsafe posts
Pause the post when any test fails.
- A number has no direct source.
- A fact could identify a client.
- The claim implies a sure result.
- The post gives legal advice.
- No CPA approved the final copy.
Move file-specific comments into private intake. Do not diagnose a lease in public.
Run the post desk
Keep one record for each post. The record joins the idea, source, approval, replies, and next step.
Build the source bank
Start with questions the firm can answer safely. Add the source before writing the hook.
| Source type | Good input | Review need |
|---|---|---|
| Firm process | Approved intake or review step | Process owner checks it |
| Public guide | Direct link and access date | CPA checks its use |
| Public record | Named source and exact fact | Reviewer checks the context |
| Made-up example | Clear teaching label | Math and facts are checked |
| Client pattern | Broad lesson with no details | Privacy review is required |
| Product view | Source trail or work step | Partner role stays clear |
Do not turn a client issue into a post idea too fast. First remove names, places, dates, amounts, and rare facts. Then ask if the lesson still helps.
Use the quality control rubric for a CAM review post.
Review each draft
| Status | Required item | Owner action |
|---|---|---|
| Idea | One reader question | Writer names the lesson |
| Source | Link or firm process | Researcher saves the proof |
| Draft | Hook, lesson, and next step | Writer keeps one point |
| Claim check | Each fact marked and checked | CPA removes weak claims |
| Privacy check | No client can be known | Partner clears the example |
| Approved | Final copy and source saved | Reviewer adds name and date |
| Posted | Live link stored | Owner starts the reply log |
The partner signoff sheet can support the approval record. The person named there should read the final post.
Route comments and messages
Public comments are not a place for file review. Thank the reader. Answer a broad process question. Move file facts to private intake.
| Reply type | Public answer | Next route |
|---|---|---|
| General process | Explain one approved step | Link a useful guide |
| File question | Do not assess the file | Offer private intake |
| Legal question | Do not give legal advice | Route to counsel |
| Source request | Share the direct public source | Add it to the post |
| Client praise | Protect names and facts | Ask before any reuse |
| Sales question | Explain scope and next gate | Name the firm contact |
Use the client scope language only after a private lead passes intake. A comment is not client consent.
Review the month
Count actions that help the firm learn. Do not treat views as proof of new work.
| Review item | Question | Next change |
|---|---|---|
| Topic | Which client question drew useful replies? | Keep or narrow the lesson |
| Source | Which proof was easy to check? | Reuse the source type |
| Approval | Which claims slowed review? | Improve the first draft |
| Reply | Which comments needed a private route? | Make the boundary clearer |
| Fit | Which readers matched the service? | Adjust the next audience |
| Capacity | Can the team handle new files? | Change the next invitation |
Save the live link, copy, proof, reviewer, and reply log. Note each edit after the post goes live. Use that record next month.
Use the service line checklist before asking readers to act. Use the revenue model to check team load.
