in 2022, the irs faced a substantial backlog, with over 21 million delayed refunds, primarily due to pandemic-related challenges and a surge in paper filings. by 2023, improvements in processing systems and staffing helped reduce the backlog to approximately 1.9 million delayed refunds. however, in 2025, delayed refunds rose again to over 5 million, slowed by headline-making staff cuts and an uptick in identity theft cases requiring additional verification.

bissett bullet: help them understand

today’s bissett bullet: “we might want to work with a potential client, and see the benefit to them of doing so, but that is immaterial if they themselves don’t understand why.”

by martin bissett

so often i am told by the accounting profession that they just cannot understand why a business did not come on board when it was so obvious as to the benefit to them for doing so.

the reality is, whether we see the necessity or not for a client to work with us, our opinion is irrelevant. the responsibility is incumbent upon us to make sure that the business sees a compelling reason for working together, and make sure that the reason creates a sense of urgency that allows them to give us a decision in our favor.

let’s not fall into the trap of thinking that just because we understand why they should change that the business automatically does too.

today’s to-do:

give thought today to the next meeting you have got coming up in your diary with a potential, or indeed existing, client. make sure you have a way prepared of making the client or prospect understand why working with you is in their best commercial interests.

accounting arc
with liz mason, byron patrick, and donny shimamoto
center for accounting transformation

let’s be honest: the accounting profession isn’t exactly known for work-life balance. long hours, tax season sprints, and “just one more thing” emails can leave even the most seasoned pros teetering on the edge of burnout.

in this episode of arc, hosts liz mason, cpa; donny shimamoto, cpa.citp, cgma; and byron patrick, cpa.citp, cgma, confront that edge—and explain why healthy boundaries are more than just trendy jargon. they’re essential tools for staying sane, productive, and professionally respected.

“burnout is basically professional depression,” says mason, ceo of high rock accounting. “if you find yourself triggered, angry, or exhausted at work all the time, there’s a good chance your boundaries are being violated—and you might not even realize it.”
