Is public accounting anticipating a ton of turnover after this busy season ? I have been seeing a lot of referral emails come through. I’ve only been here for a few months and people have said its going to be bad

I'm done after this. Only been 3 months.

i had started with the firm in july, had a 9/30 busy season and then a brutal 12/31 busy season (company had been purchased so we had a mess of PPA, OBS, etc.) where we were working past 2am for a month. i strongly considered leaving afterwards, i would have only been with the company about 6 months - the long hours were affecting my health, both mental and physical. a year later and another tough busy season (different client, first year 404), and im considering leaving again. and i have no shame about it. these hours are insane

We’ve lost a ton already. Remote environment + other companies not crashing and burning as expected = an even hotter industry market for accountants. I’ve never seen this many people up and leave mid busy season...

Yes. More than usual. Very easy to sit in front a screen at home for another employer. Cost of exit is lower than its ever been with WFH and the erosion of office culture and personal relationships.

People are just leaving. No regard for busy season or not (which is as it should be).

Job market is hot. And most PA people think they are only allowed to quit after busy season. Hence the glut of exits

I’d like to work for the FBI either as a Special Agent or Professional Staff as a Forensic Accountant. I am currently a Senior Forensic Accountant at a public accounting firm but we mainly handle commercial damage calculations, business valuations, and SOME investigations that one might think of as “was there fraud? We’re not sure, please Mr. Forensic Accountant can you take a look at our QBs?”
Question: is this experience preferable to the FBI? Or do they prefer the AML professionals? CPA + CFE
