I’m in the midst of retooling for next year so this is very timely. Over the past few months I’ve gone from desperately looking for ways to reduce the ever-increasing time it takes to properly prepare and review tax returns, to accepting that the problem isn’t necessarily with my processes, that doing good work takes time and, this is OK as long as the time is spent meaningfully and not on unnecessary busy work.
So the challenge now is to find the right staff to do the work that I don’t have time to do any more and then paying for them!
We are also making some shifts for next year. A business is never "set it and forget it!" If someone claims they have a perfect business and never need to change it, they are lying to you (i.e., an influencer).
