Tax season isn’t just the busiest time of year for accountants.
It’s also one of the most revealing.
In this micro-episode of The Growth Minded Accountant, Lee Reams and Rebekah Barton break down the three signals that show up repeatedly in client conversations during tax season—and what those signals reveal about the future growth of your firm.
They call them the SUC Signals:
Surprise – “I wish I had known that earlier.”
Urgency – “I need this done by Friday.”
Confusion – “Why do I owe so much?”
These phrases aren’t just client frustrations. They’re signals about how your firm is positioned, how your systems operate, and where your next growth opportunity may be hiding.
In this short episode, you’ll learn:
Growth minded firms don’t just push through tax season. They listen to it.
Because the conversations you’re having right now are telling you exactly where your firm can grow next.
