How would it feel if you and your team in your accountancy firm were able to get to January and feel completely calm, relaxed and completely in control around the number of tax returns you've got to do?

In this Humanise The Numbers podcast discussion with Georgina Gallagher-Kennett from Pinfields Accountants in the West Midlands, you'll hear George share some deep, practical and relatively simple but important insights into what she and her team did to smooth out the flow of tax returns.  You'll also hear how they diminished the normal  tax return spike in December and January to less than half what they were when they started on their journey.

George is really generous in unpicking and highlighting the three or four key things that have enabled her to achieve what has been an impressive production workflow methodology within her firm. So why not join George and myself on this Humanise The Numbers podcast and see which one of the insights that George shares is of particular value to you and your firm when you next look at planning out your flow of tax returns.

How personally do you take delivering the outcome of your clients tax returns?  Do you like telling them on 31st Janaury they've got a huge tax bill to pay?  George describes in this episode how delivering exactly this news to her own mum on 31st January was the trigger to making big changes and putting the pressure of January behind them once and for all at Pinfields.
