Accountant Burnout Is Way Up, But Technology Can Help

Accountancy has always been a demanding industry, but in recent years burnout has jumped significantly. The endless pandemic, the shift to remote work, and disruption of work-life balance are all likely factors. A growing shift in expectations has also picked up steam. As different models for productivity and employee well-being emerge across industries, accountants don't see value in 60-70 hour work weeks.

But the demand for accounting services have also gone up, accompanied by rapid legislation changes, and heightened client expectations continue to place pressure on firms to deliver high-quality work. 

After two long years, we may be wondering if the pre-pandemic days will ever return. But, rather than hope, it's better to be prepared.
