As is always the way, some 1099s are late, and tax season seems to be starting early...again. For all the change we have had over the last couple of years, some things never change. However we all have a different lens through which to look this year. The pandemic has changed the way we do business, it has changed our expectations - whether you're a client, an employer or an employee.

Some firms owners will think it's back to pre-pandemic tax seasons, but they're in for a nasty surprise. Employees not only know their value, but they also know they can work from anywhere, and they'll seek out those employers that have successfully leveraged technology to enable workplace that suits them, rather than the other way round.

Embrace the change that the pandemic has encouraged us to make, listen to your team, and your clients and you'll have one of your best tax seasons yet.

Feel free to get in touch if there's anything we can help you with in your firm.
