What could you do with an extra 180 minutes a week? No matter how busy you are and no matter how many clients you have you can win back a half day a week by being more effective. What would having a half day extra a week make possible and what would you do with it

We work with firm owners every day and the single biggest challenge we hear that accountants face is time.
