Tired of Textbook Strategies That Don’t Work in the Real World? Power Hours Are the Solution

Real solutions for real tax pros - starting with Power Hours.

Let’s be honest: much of what’s taught in traditional finance training feels great on paper - but completely falls apart when you’re in the trenches.

Maybe you’ve read hundreds of articles, taken multiple CPEs, or even joined masterminds, yet your firm still struggles with the same issues:

  • Clients with messy financials

  • Time-consuming tax questions you didn’t quote for

  • Revenue bottlenecks in advisory services

  • Stress and scope creep that burns out your best talent

Here’s the truth: you don’t need another 90-day plan. You need focused, fast, field-tested problem-solving. That’s where Power Hours come in.

💡 What’s a Power Hour?

Power Hours are high-impact, 60-minute working sessions where we cut through the noise, solve a specific challenge in your practice, and create a customized solution—right then and there.

It’s not coaching.
It’s not theory.
It’s on-the-spot, executive-level strategic support.

Whether you're navigating a client restructure, entity election, or cash flow model, you walk away with real answers — not homework.👩‍💼 Why They Work (Especially for High-Level Pros Like You)

✅ They respect your time — No fluff, no “homework between sessions”
✅ They’re strategic, not just tactical — Designed for leaders, not just staff
✅ They come with implementation clarity — So you don’t stay stuck
✅ They’re confidential and judgment-free — Bring your toughest issues

Power Hours are part of the Executive Touch experience because they’re the kind of support most tax and finance professionals are missing: customized, fast-paced clarity you can act on.
