  • #102 - The Top 10 Time Management Lies Accountants Need to Stop Believing
    May 15 2025

    Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” when it comes to managing your time—


    Waking up early

    Making to-do lists
    Putting in extra hours


    … and yet, you still end the day feeling behind, drained, and frustrated?

    What if the problem isn’t you—but the advice you’ve been following?

    In this week’s episode, I’m uncovering the top 10 time management lies accountants are told—and how believing them might be making your work and life harder than they need to be.

    This episode is especially for you if:

    • You’ve been following all the “rules” and still feel like you’re barely staying afloat
    • You constantly feel like you need to do more, even when you’re exhausted
    • You’ve tried time blocking, prioritizing, or waking up earlier—but it hasn’t helped
    • You’re starting to wonder if there’s a smarter way to manage your time (hint: there is)

    If time management has ever felt like a constant struggle, I promise this episode is going to shine a light on why—and what to start doing instead.

    Tune in to The Smarter Accountant Podcast today and join the discussion about the top 10 time management lies accountants need to stop believing.

  • #101 - The Importance of Performing a Tax Season Autopsy
    May 8 2025

    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.

  • #100 - The 6 Most Common Issues Accountants Want To Work On
    May 1 2025

    Have you ever thought…

    • Why am I always behind, no matter how early I start?
    • Why does it feel like I’m working nonstop, but never getting ahead?
    • Why am I so stressed when I’ve done this job for years?
    • Why does everyone else seem more confident than I feel inside?

    If you’ve asked yourself questions like these, you're not alone.

    To celebrate the 100th episode of The Smarter Accountant Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the six most common issues that accountants bring to coaching.

    After decades in the profession and years of working with accountants one-on-one, these are the struggles that come up again and again—and the ones that most people are silently dealing with.

    This episode is especially for you if:

    • You’ve tried working harder but still feel like you’re barely keeping up
    • You struggle to manage your time, your stress, or your confidence
    • You feel like work is bleeding into your personal life
    • You’re tired of doing everything yourself and still not feeling ahead
    • You want to understand why these issues keep showing up—and what to do about them

    This episode will help you see the bigger picture of what’s really going on, and how small shifts in awareness can lead to major changes in how you think, feel, and work.

    Thank you for being part of this milestone episode. Here’s to the next 100!
