Why the War Room exists

Every Busy Season starts the same way, then Christmas walks in

Busy Season accounts, tax returns, payroll and client chasing all land in the same few weeks. Your best people book leave, clients go quiet until the new year, and the deadline stays exactly where it was. Tap through the weeks and see where the squeeze comes from
