What does a good tax-focused firm's website need to do?

(FYI, it's not the same as a CAS firm)

Thanks #taxbs Tax Retreat for having me. I had to duck out a little early to get back for my kids. See you next year.

Does your website have info about pricing?

It should.

Almost no millennial or Gen-z (~60% of purchase decision makers) wants to “Schedule a Call” to learn the price of your services.

I’ve seen @wesburdine.bsky.social post about this a bunch of times so I decided to become an owner too.

New year, new me (sort of).

One thing they don't really tell you is that when you're an entrepreneur/business owner, business is always personal.

2024 has been a really difficult one for me personally. My wife and I separated in May after being married for 17 years and together for over 20.

When you client shares the website copy you wrote with their friend (who is ALSO a really great writer) and they have a few changes they’d like to make.

(Note: to any past or current clients, I’m not referring to you or YOUR friend, this post is about someone else)
