CPAs and accountants worked crazy hours in 2020. The start of 2021 may be no different. Many CPAs, out of concern for their clients, logged extra hours for those clients, to understand PPP, EIDL, and other loan programs to help keep their clients’ businesses afloat. Many CPAs are exhausted. Some are excited. Most are in need of a break, and need to…

Create a different 2021. It was a hard year. I suspect you don't want 2021 to be a recreation of 2020. But it's easy to get sucked under, and run on autopilot.
