Between Thanksgiving and Year-End Is the Time to Fix Tax Season Hours

Our Free Assessment Can Show You Where To Focus

Hello fellow accountant,

As another year heads to an end, many accounting firms are starting to think about next tax season.... often with a pit in their stomach. Is this going to be another cycle of 60 to 80-hour weeks, burning out your team and sacrificing family time for clients who might not even make sense for your business model?

Renew firms are moving toward a 40-Hour Week year-round.


Some are already below that number. We have created a free assessment that will take you 8 minutes to complete. It will help you to pinpoint where you should focus in the next few weeks so that you can move the needle before tax season. There’s still time to make meaningful change if you act now.

One of the first lessons we have learnt at Renew in working with hundreds of firms over almost 30 years is that more hours don’t equate to better results.

In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Our 2025 Benchmark Assessment showed that firms with stronger pricing worked fewer hours. Firms with weak business models and suboptimal pricing tend to work longer hours to drive profitability. There is a better way.

Renew firms set (and stick to) boundaries, say no to clients that don’t fit their model, and dictate the terms of the client relationship. They work with target clients on premium prices. The assessment will highlight your quick wins to move toward that model.

If this sounds interesting, please take the assessment. There’s absolutely no obligation and you’ll receive a personalized report that will show you the changes you can make quickly so that you don’t repeat tax season.
