YOU MIGHT BE LEAVING MONEY ON THE TABLE. AND IT MIGHT NOT BE BECAUSE OF YOUR CLIENTS.

Let's talk about the two things that can make or break your accounting practice: YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR PRICING.

Are you charging what your expertise is actually worth? Are your fees keeping up with the value you deliver? Are your staffing decisions helping your firm grow, or creating more work, more stress, and more headaches?

Because here's the truth: You can be an incredible tax professional and still struggle with the business side of running a practice.

And if you're working harder every year without seeing the return you deserve, it's time to take a closer look.

Tomorrow, November 3, invest TWO HOURS in the business behind your expertise.

Join Bob McKinley, CPA, for WAATP's next Practice Management session:

📌 Human Resources & Pricing
📅 Tuesday, November 3
⏰ 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
💻 Live Virtual Webinar
🎓 2 CPE Hours (depending on credentials)
➕ Stay for the Round Table from 1:00–1:30 PM!

Whether you're a solo practitioner, firm owner, managing a team, or simply thinking about what comes next, these are business decisions you cannot afford to overlook.

And the best part? It's INCLUDED with your WAATP membership! Nonmembers can attend for just $30.

Stop working IN your practice long enough to work ON your practice.

Your expertise built your business. Your people and pricing will help determine where it goes next.

Don't leave money on the table. Don't keep doing things just because that's how you've always done them. Make the investment.

🐱 IT’S NATIONAL CAT DAY! LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR MOST UNPREDICTABLE “DEPENDENTS.” 😂

They contribute nothing to the household income, demand food on a schedule they set themselves, knock things off your desk, and somehow still think they’re the boss.

Honestly? Sounds like some clients we know. 👀

Whether your feline coworker supervises your spreadsheets, sits on your keyboard during tax season, or reminds you that your work-life balance needs work, today we celebrate the cats who make working from home a little more interesting.

They may not qualify as a tax deduction, but they certainly know how to claim their space!

🐾 Drop a picture of your office cat (or favorite feline) in the comments! We want to see who’s really running your practice.

Happy National Cat Day from WAATP! 🐈

🐟 YOU CAN DANCE FOR YOUR CLIENTS… OR YOU CAN GIVE THEM A REASON TO TRUST YOU.

We’re not saying you need to stop entertaining your clients. 😂 But if keeping your clients happy requires a song and dance every tax season, maybe it’s time to strengthen what really keeps them coming back: your knowledge, your confidence, and the value you bring to the table.

And that starts with being prepared.

🎣 THE BEST OF BOTH FEDERAL TAX WORLDS: BUSINESS & INDIVIDUAL TAX UPDATE

📅 December 2–3 | Emerald Downs, Auburn, WA
🎓 16 hours of federal tax update CPE
💰 $450 per person when 3+ people from your office register

This is your opportunity to bring your WHOLE TEAM together for two days of timely tax updates, practical knowledge, and conversations with other professionals who are right there in the trenches with you.

Because when tax season gets complicated, you need more than a good song and dance. You need to know the rules, recognize opportunities, ask better questions, and have the confidence to guide your clients through whatever comes next.

And you don't have to build that expertise alone.

Learn alongside other tax professionals who understand the deadlines, the pressure, the difficult client questions, and the reality of running a practice. Walk away with fresh insight, stronger connections, and a team better equipped for the season ahead.

Firm owners: investing in your team's knowledge is investing in your firm's reputation.

Don't send just one person and hope the knowledge trickles down. Bring the team. Learn together. Prepare together. Give your clients even more reasons to trust you.

🙌 THE CHALLENGE: Get your whole office registered TODAY!

📍 December 2–3 at Emerald Downs, with livestream options available
💵 $450 per person for groups of 3 or more from the same office (call or email us [email protected] to take advantage of this offer)
