On accountants working long hours

Posted on February 13th, 2007

Chris Silvey has a thought-provoking post about the long hours demanded of accounting and auditing professionals in the United States. The job adds up to long hours and work that can be mundane. This leads to the annual exodus from auditing firms in August – after a nice, slow summer and prior to the crazy “audit busy season.” (Yes, I’ve been there and done that. And not so coincidentally, I made my decision to leave in August!)
