All accountants work long hours!

like

I worked as a Controler at a private company that had longer days for a day or two around month end close but otherwise it was 8-5 with a lunch break. Audit time was the same, don’t know how late the auditors stayed since we left them a key to lock up when they left.

I've been wondering the same thing. And also wondering what they actually do on a day to day basis.

Accounts payable - processing payments.
Expense reports, journal entry booking.

Work is pretty basic

Fund accountants at a fund admin, a mutual fund company, or inside a PE/HF? They’re similar and yet totally different roles with different hours from what I’ve gathered

My buddy has some longer hours at month end but not bad overall.

Looking for guidance. I have over 12 years of experience running dental offices. I’ve always had my hands in marketing and social media and consider myself more of a self taught digital marketer. I’ve taken a 2 year course with Duke University to learn more about digital marketing. I started a dental marketing agency but I am having a hard time overcoming ads for lead generation. I need to learn the ins and outs to be able to create results for my clients. What steps would you suggest I take?

Do you record your unbillable time? I have had conflicting responses. I have been told it's not good for efficiency calculations but others have told me if your still doing work let people know. For example, I get weird international stuff sometimes that not everyone gets (I think maybe? ) and I need to reread the 5471 rules or 8865 rules as I do the returns. I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher
