Why do accounting firms work 70-80-hour workweeks during tax season, only to lose most of their leads anyway?

Kristen McGarr, Founder and CSMO of Adroit Insights, breaks down a practical sales strategy for accountants that stabilizes growth within 30 days. She shares how a four-person accounting firm nearly tripled revenue while reducing weekly workload from 70 to 80 hours down to 50 to 60. Why 70 to 80 percent of leads often fall off during tax season, and how that creates unpredictable revenue cycles that make hiring and forecasting difficult

Instead of selling harder, the firm built a simple system that delivered consistent outreach, stronger referrals, and up to 300% growth.
