💼 The Tax Boss Brief: May Edition

May 19 / Coach Cocoa Murray
Tax season may be over, but your business isn’t. Smart tax professionals know that how you move in the off-season determines how much you make next season. While others are on pause, you’re making power plays.

This month’s Tax Boss Brief is all about what to do during the off-season to increase income, improve systems, and prepare to REIGN even harder next year.

✅ What to Do During the Off-Season

Many tax pros take the summer off, but let’s be honest,that’s not what bosses do. Off-season is your growth zone.

Here’s what you should be doing NOW:

🔹 1. Review Your Client Data

  • How many returns did you process?

  • Which types brought in the most revenue?

  • Who came back and who didn’t?

👉 Use this info to map out your “ideal client” and create stronger strategies for next season.

🔹 2. Survey Your Clients

Send a quick 3-question email:

  • What did you love about our service?

  • What could we do better next season?

  • Would you refer us to a friend?

Feedback is a free roadmap to next-level service.

🔹 3. Organize & Audit

Go through your:

  • CRM & Client Notes

  • Bank Applications

  • Software Settings

  • File Security & E-Sign Docs

💡 Fix the friction now so tax season feels smoother later.


💸 Building Your Summer Income Streams

Your business doesn’t need to “hibernate” in the heat. Use the summer to create new money channels that don’t rely on filing returns.

🔹 1. Offer Business Services:

  • Bookkeeping

  • LLC Formation

  • EIN/Operating Agreement Packages

  • Quarterly Tax Planning

These services solve year-round problems and bring in steady income.

🔹 2. Create Digital Products:

  • Tax prep checklist

  • Budgeting templates

  • E-books or mini-courses for new filers

💰 Use platforms like Canva, Gumroad, or Stan Store to sell them.

🔹 3. Host a Paid Workshop or Webinar

Teach others what you know—whether it’s tax basics, small biz finances, or filing tips.
Charge $49–$99 and upsell into 1:1 consults or future services.


🔧 Prep for Next Season: What to Keep, Cut, and Correct

Growth isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what works better.

✅ KEEP:

  • Clients who paid on time and respected your process

  • Systems that saved you time (client portals, CRMs, automations)

  • Offers that converted (bundles, referral incentives)

🛑 CUT:

  • Freebies that cost too much energy

  • Pricing models that left you burnt out or underpaid

  • Clients who ghosted, argued, or disrespected your boundaries

🛠 CORRECT:

  • Onboarding experience: Was it seamless or confusing?

  • Marketing strategy: Were you consistent or last-minute?

  • Profit plan: Did you hit your money goals or miss the mark?

Now is the time to make those CEO-level decisions that align with your time, peace, and bank account.
