    Audit! Also, for audit, there is a chance that your client site has a longer commute.

    Tax gets really bad during busy seasons but is pretty good the rest of the year. Audit can depend VASTLY on the client(s) you've been assigned to.

    I would think Audit would have more hours, but Tax hours FEEL like longer. Imagine just sitting at a desk from 9 am to 9 pm for 3 weeks straight…

    AUD - 92
    BEC - 81
    FAR - 76
    REG - 89
    Never give up!

    Public generally has longer hours regardless. Private if you are not travelling 8/9-5 generally you can make it home for dinner or drinks after work. You can gather I am not a big fan of public especially big 4/5 they are always paying big fines to SEC for misconduct they make regular accountants and auditors look bad. And sometimes don't pay people their worth. Don't get me started on Walmart and McDonald and Medical Insurance companies.

    With my exposure to tax, I would think 60-70 hours: Jan, Feb, Mar and then end of June, July, August, September depending on the type of tax you're doing.

    You mean to tell me that audit has WORSE hours than this? How is this possible, even with audit year end work, I cannot picture audit having worse hours than tax.

    onmywhey, because “year-end” for audit can be 12/31, 6/30, 9/30, etc. I ended up on clients with these year-ends, which meant that busy season was basically January – October, outside of a relatively “normal” late March / early April.

    REG - 93 (7/30/13)
    BEC - 90 (8/19/13)
    AUD - 98 (8/31/13)
    FAR - 84 (10/19/13)
