Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Calendars explode when March arrives again
Tax season hurricane, deadlines closing in
Triage every task with surgical precision
Color-code priorities, make the split decision
Senior breathes down necks while partners pace the halls
Staff accountants drowning in audit protocol calls

[Chorus]
P-D-C-A: Plan, Delegate, Coach, Assess
Navigate the pyramid, manage all the stress
From staff to senior, manager to partner crown
Master self-control when chaos comes to town
Forty hours yearly, keep your knowledge fresh
CPD requirements, put learning to the test

[Verse 2]
Delegation's art form, not just dumping files
Match the task complexity to junior's growing skills
Feedback sandwich method leaves a bitter taste
Skip the fluff, be surgical, don't let talent waste
"Here's what worked brilliantly, here's where you can grow"
Specificity builds the professionals you know

[Chorus]
P-D-C-A: Plan, Delegate, Coach, Assess
Navigate the pyramid, manage all the stress
From staff to senior, manager to partner crown
Master self-control when chaos comes to town
Forty hours yearly, keep your knowledge fresh
CPD requirements, put learning to the test

[Bridge]
Hierarchy's ladder isn't just for climbing
Respect flows both directions, perfect timing
Mentorship cascades from top tier to ground floor
Each level teaches next, wisdom to explore
Professional development never truly ends
CPA designation, just where excellence begins

[Verse 3]
April sixteenth sunrise, aftermath begins
Debrief the battlefield, catalog the wins
Team performance metrics, individual reviews
Coach the future leaders, share what veterans knew
Continuous improvement, not just annual ritual
Every interaction shapes professional habitual

[Final Chorus]
P-D-C-A: Plan, Delegate, Coach, Assess
Navigate the pyramid, manage all the stress
From staff to senior, manager to partner crown
Master self-control when chaos comes to town
Forty hours yearly, keep your knowledge fresh
CPD requirements, excellence your compass

[Outro]
Self-management prowess, teamwork symphony
CPA distinction, professional harmony
