How many hours do corporate accountants work per week? Is it typically a 40 hour, 9-5 job? What about during monthly/quarterly/yearly close? And how much PTO is given?
It is all over the map.
I have worked my entire career in corporate accounting (more than 30 years). At my last position I not only was a senior accountant in charge of the close each period, but also worked in the financial planning. When we had period close deadlines hours were normally longer that week and when we had planning deadlines for quarter in mid year the hours are longer.
What were the average number of hours you worked each week? Did you also work in management as well?
