Episode description

Long hours, demanding workloads, and stressful late nights at the office... is it impossible to have a good work-life balance when you’re an accountant?

This week, we sit down with ACCA members Clara Tooth and Shaun Fenwick to understand what the lifestyle of an accountant is really like. From preparing for busy times of year (hello, tax season!) to streamlined, time-saving work practices, we dig into the reality of balancing a career in finance with the rest of your life.

Plus, we explore the benefits that finding the right workplace for you can bring - from flexible and hybrid working policies, to Free Beer Fridays. We also chat through Clara and Shaun’s unique journeys into accountancy.
