How Stressful Is the Job of a CPA?

Everyone dreads tax time. It's stressful. You're looking for lost receipts. Adding up expenses. Paying back taxes. And then the big question pops up. What happens if you're audited?

But let's switch sides. How do accountants feel? Is it stressful for them? Is it hard to meet the tax deadline when so many people are in their face? And how do they feel when their clients are audited?

Apparently, accountants do feel the same stress as their clients and sometimes even more. Especially when their clients are high net worth families and businesses. So, how do they feel when their clients are late in submitting their records? Is it stressful? What do they do when their clients are uncooperative, abrasive and even disrespectful?

David was hired to help The Keiter Group (CPA's and advisors) create a tool to evaluate and assess their clients when things like that happen. Along with Dr. Aaron Anderson they spent four months helping to create the tool and prepare to pitch it to a group of Keiter senior partners. David was extremely happy that the assessment tool was approved and the wheels are set in motion to begin using it in 2024.
