We get to see our clients another year, catching up on what is new in their life: the good, the bad and the ugly! After catching up, we help them through one of their least favorite duties \u2013 filing their taxes. We actually enjoy the hubbub of tax season! Can we get it all done? Will this year be as profitable as last year? Did our tax projections we worked with for our clients work out? However, we are happy when it&#8217;s over and the pressure of off. You can probably hear our collective sigh of relief coming from Port Orange, Fla.<\/p>\n<p>My husband, Harold, who is also co-owner of the firm, does his &#8220;After Tax Season Happy Dance.\u201d To celebrate, we usually go on a trip.\u00a0One year, we went to Egypt. Another time, we traveled through the Panama Canal. This year, we are going to Cuba! We even invited some of our favorite clients to tag along. Anyone else want to come along?

As a mommypreneur\u00a0of three, and a wife with a very supportive spouse, my family is well aware of my tax season deadline. They actually count down the days with me and look forward to the days after tax season, knowing they will have some uninterrupted quality time with me. Ever since I began my practice, I have taken the rest of the week and weekend off after the April tax deadline.
