    Your Top Ten Articles for Tax Season is great!!!!

    As always, you “get it” on what busy practitioners trying to serve clients AND run their own firms profitably want. Having these all in one place let me see which were most relevant to me (seven of the ten!!!!!) and focus on those. Plus, the focus of the articles is how to continually get better and manage the season instead of letting it manage us.

    THANKS!!!
