‘Tis the season for new promises and plans. 

We’ve been asking finance and accounting accounting professionals about what 2013 may hold, and you’ve been answering. To get all the details, click here to join the survey and get the results.

Meanwhile, here are a few sample New Year’s resolutions from colleagues and peers. Some may sound all too familiar from resolutions made in 2012. Personally, I’m still working on the lose-15-pounds resolution from 2012, and, er, 2011, 2010, 2009… Oh well.

New Year’s resolutions from finance and accounting professionals:

  • New SEO plan for getting higher ranking on Google.
  • Working with tax resolution professional and preparing returns for them at a split fee.
  • Work more on marketing
  • Downgrade expectations.
  • Get more audits of private companies.
  • Work, work and work, because of so much competition and unemployment, the best bet is to keep busy by working and get the maximum out of colleagues/sub ordinates. I will not be carried away with number 13, this is my lucky number so I will capitalize on this number.
