Accountants always overworked?

Recommended Posts

My auntie is an accountant with a private firm. I notice that many times she brought files home and work with it till late night.

Is this normal for an accountant?

I believe she works late only during the peak period

My friend is an accountant too. But they are only superbusy for like a few months in a year. Other times, she looks quite relaxed, just like other office jobs :huh:

I am an accountant too. Well, not always overwork. If always overwork then either he or she work slow, or work overload to him or her.

see the industry-lah

if public accountant, busy April till July because of filing & tax deadlines

if you are in big 4 or 6, tend to work full year on top gear

if you work commercial company, end and beginning month for closing purposes

type of industry will determine the workload, e.g. FMCG work is tedious whereas contract company would have less workload.

also determined by a company's headcount policy.

i think being an accountant is still ok. perhaps will be extra busy when auditors are coming in to audit as need to prepare the full sets of accounts.

auditors are busy most of the time especially during peak period; roughly starting from march til july as many companies hv 31 dec year end. it actually depends on your accounting firm, hv to see their clients' databases. and clients' year end.
