Small-Firm Leaders Must Prioritize High-Impact Tasks to Prevent Burnout: New Article in AT
The Californer/10331003

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- Rachel Farris, CPA, founder of Tax Stack AI, released a new thought-leadership article in Accounting Today titled "Time Management for Small Firm Leaders: Prioritize High-Impact Tasks to Avoid Burnout." In the piece, Rachel draws on personal experience launching and growing an accounting firm to offer practical strategies on how small-firm leaders can reclaim control of their time and mental energy.

In the article, Rachel argues that many firm leaders fall into the trap of busywork — reacting to emails, handling every deliverable, and failing to delegate. Instead, she recommends a strategic approach built around:

• Identifying high-impact work — focusing on client advisory, business growth, and team development
• Protecting personal energy through time-blocking and planned recovery
• Designing systems to reduce decision fatigue
• Delegating ruthlessly to scale the firm
• Redefining success beyond mere busyness

"As small-firm owners, our greatest contributions come from strategy, relationships, and vision — not from doing it all ourselves," says Rachel. "Time mastery isn't about packing your day; it's about creating space for what truly matters."
