#101 - The Importance of Performing a Tax Season Autopsy

Did this tax season feel like a blur?

Are you still recovering from the long hours, the constant pressure, and that never-ending sense of urgency?

Or maybe you’re just ready to move on and never think about it again until next year.

I get it. Most accountants feel the same way once tax season ends. But what if the best thing you could do right now is actually to pause—and look back?

In this week’s episode of The Smarter Accountant Podcast, I’m walking you through a powerful (but simple) process I call the Tax Season Autopsy—a quick, honest look at what worked, what didn’t, and what you’d want to do differently next time.

No guilt. No shame. Just clarity and smarter decisions for your future self.

This episode is especially for you if:

• You’ve ever said, “Next year will be different”—but it never really is
• You’re too exhausted to reflect, but you know something needs to change
• You want to be a better leader, planner, or protector of your time
• You’re ready to stop repeating the same patterns that burn you out

This episode might be exactly what you need because a few minutes of reflection now could make next tax season feel a whole lot lighter.
