   Can anyone provide me the approximate start and end dates of busy season for a Big4 auditor? Trying to plan my study schedule.

   I've never worked big 4 but I would think that your busy season would depend on what audits you get scheduled for... I remember when I worked for a regional firm, some people audited mostly colleges and they were busy at different times than the people who were auditing hospitals.

   FAR: 71, 77
   BEC: 70, 82
   AUD: 62, 78
   REG: 71, 68, 85

   Busy season is generally January to March but it really depends on the client. You could be at a big four and not experiencde the craziness of busy season.

   The overall busy season for Big 4 audit (which includes the majority of clients) is 1/1-mid/late March. Tax is a bit delayed and perhaps mid/late January - 4/15.

   Other busy audit times depend on clients with non calendar year ends and in September for deferred returns in tax.

   BEC 86 (08/30/11)
   FAR 84 (10/13/11)
   REG 88 (11/08/11)
   AUD 86 (11/29/11)
