Work/life balance not working for accountants

Many accountants feel they are overworked and underpaid, with most working past their normal hours on a regular basis, according to new research.

A study by online accounting software company e-conomic found that 86% of those asked did more than their normal working hours regularly, with over half doing so every day.

The company also found that 38% regularly work past 10pm and 22% of those with children don’t make it home before bedtime.

Nearly two-thirds felt that remote home working could significantly improve their work/life balance.
