Every tax season, your clients tell you exactly what they need.

They mention hiring plans.
They’re thinking about selling assets.
They say things like, “I wish I had known that sooner…”

And in the moment, you recognize it:

👉 That’s important.
👉 We should come back to that.

But then the next client starts.
The next return.
The next fire to put out.

And just like that… it’s gone.

In this episode of The Growth Minded Accountant, Lee Reams II and Rebekah Barton break down one of the biggest missed opportunities inside modern firms:

It’s not that you lack advisory insight.
It’s that you’re not capturing it.

What You’ll Take Away:

•  Why valuable advisory opportunities disappear every tax season 
•  What to actually listen for in client conversations 
•  How to surface more opportunities without extending meetings 
•  A simple framework to capture insights in seconds 
•  How those insights turn into real revenue after tax season 

The Simple Rule:

One sentence.
One place.
One tag.

No new systems.
No extra time.
Just a better habit.

Rebekah Barton also shares how these same client conversations aren’t just advisory opportunities—they’re your most valuable source of:

•  Marketing messaging 
•  Content ideas 
•  Niche positioning 
•  Growth strategy 

Because when you capture the language your clients actually use…
you stop guessing—and start connecting.

The Bigger Shift:

You’re not creating more work during tax season.

You’re capturing future revenue.
Future impact.
Future advisory relationships.

Because advisory doesn’t start after tax season…

It starts in the conversations you’re having right now.

If you don’t capture it now, it won’t feel important later.
And if it’s not important… it won’t happen.
