Public Accountants!- I am trying to gather data on what Vacation/PTO policies look like at other firms, to encourage our leadership to increase ours for our employees as I feel ours is very low and outdated. I would GREATLY appreciate anyone who would be willing to share their title, PTO policy (how many hours, sick vs vacation, opportunity for increases, etc.), and how large your firm is (big 4, regional, etc). Thank you SO much in advance!!

I would like to add PTO days for Associates is 21 and for Seniors is 25! Total company holidays is 17, one of which is a floating holiday. I think CRZ has one of the best PTO and leave packages around

Week off for July 4th and 7 days off for Christmas/New Years.

4 day weekends for Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving.

1 day off for MLK Day.

Otherwise "flexible" vacation policy with no specific limit. People average around 3 weeks of flexible PTO per year with days/weeks here and there, though this varies by person.

10 days to be used for personal/family care.

Hi! Most mid-sized-smaller firms do not publish details about their PTO/vacation policy online.

Top 10 firm - unlimited PTO plus 12 holidays and a handful of other firm-designated days off. Before we changed to unlimited, I had about 27 PTO days/year (had 20 days/year as a new hire), so I aim to take at least that annually, and encourage my team to do the same, as long as they're still meeting their goals/metrics.

Staff Accountant. Small firm of 200ish. 15 days PTO. 2 floating holidays plus 8 company wide holidays. 5 days sick time. You get another 5 days PTO after 3 or 5 years. I can’t remember. You can rollover 40 hours to the next year. Anything over 40 hrs is paid out.

Thank you!!

Week off for July 4th and Christmas/New Years. In total 17 firm holidays.

22 days Vacation, unlimited sick days, and unlimited family sick days. You can roll over 22 vacation days each year

12 weeks of full parental leave, with an optional 4 week add on of 60% work schedule but full pay

like

This is applicable for all people at the firm who have been there for more than 2 years or manager and above.

The only difference for those below manager and less than 2 years at the firm is 15 vacation days.

like

“Unlimited” PTO. Still need to meet charge hours. Week of July 4th, MLK day, Juneteenth, Friday and Monday for Memorial Day and Labor Day, Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve through the day New Years Day are all firm paid holidays. We also get one day a year to do volunteer work. Crowe is flexible in terms of when and where you can work.

I’d say about 3 weeks of actual PTO and if you’re sick, you’re sick. Just remember to work double the hours when you get to feeling better.

Why don’t you reach out to employees on LinkedIn from those firms? Shouldn’t you also be competing with Big 4 or top 25 pto/vacation policy to be competitive or is your work/life balance already better than Big 4?

How do you usually ask for PTO? I have the days accrued but I have PTSD from a past job about asking for time off. I’m wanting to take 5 days in June for a family trip and know I need to put in the request to the partners I work for sooner rather than later. I had to take a day this last week and they were great about it (immediate “Yeses”) but somehow, asking for a week feels like a hurdle. (Also, I’m only 7 months in, haven’t met the partners IRL, and we only really communicate via email)
