With tax season approaching, we’ve been busy planning and working on how to make things better for us inside the office but also for our clients. And we’ve been realizing that we just can’t service everyone who needs a tax preparer. We have to focus.

With that giant realization, we’ve created two new things to help us answer your questions, provide better service, and connect people to legit, trusted pros, even if we can’t serve them ourselves.

Small Business Tax School is our new free community, where we’ll post all of our resources, worksheets, checklists, interviews, expert interviews, and business consulting and coaching. When we answer a question, we’ll share it here so that when one learns, all learn. This will help us serve more people faster by being more available in one specific place. It’s impossible to be in all the places simultaneously, and it’s hard only to help one person per hour when you know more people need you and you have a pile of work to do on the desk behind you…… So hop in and get in on the ground floor. It will grow and expand based on what you community wants, so make sure you get your feedback in there.

Our second creation is an offer to connect you with other tax pros and accounting firms who work like us and believe in the power of collaborative and purposeful work. We know we can’t help everyone and are focused on serving our niche because that’s what we do best. But we know many people want to work with someone like us. So we’ve made a quick little form available right here, and when you fill it out, we’ll do the heavy lifting to search our network and then get you a short list of pros who are interested in serving you and are taking new clients just like you. This works for bookkeepers and tax pros alike. So click on our Connection Request and request a Connection!

We hope that these two things can help us serve our clients and community better.

If you are a tax pro or bookkeeper who wants to be considered part of our Connection Network, let us know!

If you hate our new ideas, let me know, too. I’m curious to hear how people think we should deal with the shortage of tax pros, retiring accountants, and an overall deluge of work and demand, especially if you think we’re doing it wrong. I’d like to hear what you’d do. But be careful; we’re hiring, so you may just get asked to join the team.
