Let's Talk Shop: Tax

The Solo & Small Firm Operating Guide for Capacity, Clients, Workflow and Sanity

Tax season doesn't break firms. The way the firm was built breaks during tax season. This is the operating guide I wish someone had handed me before my first January, and my second, and honestly my third.

Twenty practical tools. Zero lectures about "work-life balance" from people who have never seen an extension deadline.

What's inside

Built for the firm where the owner is also the reviewer, the IT department, and the person who answers "quick question" texts at 9:47pm.

01

Capacity

How much work your firm can actually hold, before the calendar decides for you.

02

Clients

Expectations, deadlines, and the documents that should have arrived in February.

03

Workflow

So the work moves because of the system, not because you personally pushed it.

04

Sanity

Yours. It's a firm asset. It belongs on the balance sheet.

Tax Season Readiness Call

It's like picking my brain, on steroids. Ninety minutes, one on one, on your capacity, clients and workflow. You leave with a plan you can run before January. You bring the chaos, I bring the questions.

Bought the Template Pack? Your $47 counts toward the call. And yes, it's deductible. You knew that.

The Onsite Fix

Yes, I come to you. I spend time inside your firm designing workflows with your team, so the fix lives in the building and not just in my head.

I've built a firm past a million dollars three times. One of those times was from the rubble. I know where the bodies are buried, mostly because I buried some of them.

Hi, I'm Nicole.

I'm a CPA, firm owner, speaker, and stand-up comedian, which turns out to be excellent preparation for client meetings. Let's Talk Shop is the stuff I actually use, written for the owners who are too busy running the firm to redesign it.
