What Busy Season Actually Costs You: getting ahead of the pressure before January | 29 September
Every firm feels busy season. Very few know what it actually costs them. This session, run by two doctors who now work inside the accounting profession, puts a number on that cost and shows where it comes from. We look at why the strain stays invisible until someone’s output drops or they hand in their notice, and what you can do before you reach that point. You leave with a clear read on your own capacity, and a few changes worth making before January arrives. It counts toward your CPD.
You’ll gain insight into:
- Why busy season hits the same way every year, and how to plan for it
- What workload strain actually costs you, in pounds
- How the numbers differ for a sole practitioner and a firm with staff
- Spotting a drop in output before it reaches your bottom line
- A few changes that protect your capacity through selfassessment season
- Keeping hold of good people when everyone is shortstaffed
- Where measuring strain helps, and how to start
This webinar is ideal for accountants in practice, from sole practitioners and micro firms to partners and leaders of larger practices. No technical or medical knowledge needed. It suits anyone responsible for their own or their team’s workload and performance.

About the speaker
Dr Shamaas Mohamed and Dr Ffion Hargood (Co-founders, Husu)
Dr Shamaas Mohamed and Dr Ffion Hargood founded Husu. Both worked as doctors in high-pressure hospital environments. They moved into accounting after friends in practice kept describing the same thing: a workload that was quietly damaging their health and their work. Husu came out of a simple idea, that you can catch this pressure early instead of waiting for someone to burn out. They now work with practices of every size, from sole traders to Top 30 firms.
