In this episode, I break down how accounting firms can better manage busy season bottlenecks and client expectations during peak work periods. I walk through how bookkeeping and tax firms typically evolve their workflow systems over time and why proactive communication with clients can prevent status-check chaos. I also roast cleanup bookkeeping as a business model, explain why it is often the worst work to take on, and share better ways to scope and price it. The episode wraps with a mailbag covering firm growth breakpoints, niching into small solopreneurs, hiring trial day tests, and practical video production tips.
