I’m an accountant of 10+ years that just started my own bookkeeping and accounting business. My goal is to be 100% virtual/remote but open to local clients too. Business owners - given the sensitive nature of financial info, do cold calls and/or emails result in an immediate hangup if someone called to ask if you need help with your accounting?

I don't think cold calls would work. However, I have responded before to multiple social media posts where someone gives tax advice, and then says if you'd like to download xyz for free, place your email here. Then after downloading, it asks if I want to hold a free tax strategy call. I definitely have responded to those and talked to several accountants to determine if I wanted to work with them.
