Yes, really interested in this question too bc I start in 2 weeks and want to plan a trip abroad

Talk to your team or HR. At PwC Large Accelerated March 1, Accelerated Filers March 15, other Public March 31 and for PCS and off cycle YE sometime in May.

It’s usually no vacation Jan 15-March 15, that’s the unofficial “policy”, however as others have pointed out, ask your teams. You could have a 12/31 and another client with an off-cycle YE (like 9/30), and not be busy at all once your 12/31 files in late Feb or early March. But definitely ask
