Image ideas for an accountants' website

Years ago an architect blew me away by showing me a few photos on his smartphone during a networking event. They reinforced what he was saying about the style of houses he had designed for clients.

How might accountants do something similar? 

The following list does not contain the most serious of suggestions!

The car parking spaces reserved for clients behind your office in the centre of town? 
Proof that you make life easier for clients 

An officer from HMRC looking bloodied and bruised after a long meeting during which you successfully defended a client's tax position? 
A (hopefully metaphorical!) demonstration of how fiercely you fight your clients' corner

 Your burly-looking partner - the one who gets sent to negotiate with the taxman? 
Visual proof that your firm doesn’t back down easily when it comes to protecting clients. 

A calculator with a worn-out keypad
Evidence that behind every great accountant is a calculator hanging on for dear life. 
 
A picture of your team burning the midnight oil before a big deadline. 
Because clients don’t always see the long hours you put in to make their lives easier. 
 
Your “red pen of doom” used to mark up dodgy client expense claims! 
Evidence that, no, your client cannot claim their holiday to Ibiza as “research.” 

A “Not Today, HMRC” coffee mug
A subtle reminder that you know exactly how to keep tax officials in check.
