We’re not far away from crunch time.

Many of the issues that you face as a tax professional (being organized, productive and stress-free) come to the forefront during your busiest time of the year. It’s a grind, right?

When I was about four years old, I remember hearing the words every child dreams of in a toy store: “Pick out a toy!” I can remember fancifully wandering down the aisles and being absolutely riveted by a particular stuffed bunny.
