From what I’ve seen for PCS (Private Client services) the hours can be pretty brutal during tax season, particularly the 10/15 & 9/15 deadline but I’ve heard they have true “slow seasons” vs the commercial practice where the work is more spread throughout the year with crunch time during 4/15,9/15,10/15 & 11/15
