In fact, during busy season, CPAs can even work upward of 80 hours per week! You can begin developing your strong work ethic now by devoting the appropriate time to your current endeavors, whether thats exceling in your college courses or studying hard to pass the CPA Exam. The patterns you set now will carry through to all of your future successes.

2. CPAs want to help you with your taxes! No one minds doing favors for friends, but asking a CPA pal in the tax field to lend a hand can be a lot to ask! Accountants lead busy and ambitious careers, and may not appreciate the extra work pro bono. Make sure to offer your helpful CPA friends thank you gifts for their services, and CPAs, make sure to be comfortable saying, No thanks!
