  • the problems and insecurities of their own clients and customers, and
  • concerns about the future.

in other words, clients have more important things to do than keep track of financial matters.

and they’re willing to pay for the freedom to stick to their core business.

last year’s busy season was complicated, no doubt about it. the tax cuts and jobs act and the irs shut-down made life difficult for tax practitioners. but ultimately, they had a good year. a good 56 percent enjoyed an increase in clientele, and only 16 percent saw a decrease.
