Work-Life Balance - Why it Doesn't Work

For years people have struggled with trying to find a balance between their work and personal lives. It"s a constant battle to not work too many hours, bring work home or focus too much on work. We all want to focus on our family and friends and the things that we say are important but we always have this "work" thing hanging out there so we just try to balance it. And why does it seem like we are trying to balance our personal lives with work. I mean, does anyone say, "You know, I"ve been seeing way too much of my family lately, I need focus on spending more time at work." Of course they don"t. We are always working too much and trying to find ways to spend time living the rest of our lives. Why does this struggle even exist? Why do we spend so much time trying to balance work and life?

Thinking Of A Career As A Chartered Accountant?

One of the most popular roles in the financial industry is that of chartered accountants, who provide honest information about a client"s financial records. Chartered accountants can work in a variety of different areas including taxation, forensic accounting, corporate finance or insolvency.

Daily work activities can include completing financial audits, managing budgets and providing financial advice to clients. Such tasks involve liaising with individuals or businesses, performing risk analysis, dealing with auditors, advising on tax, business improvement and record keeping. For more senior accountants, job descriptions may include acting as line manager to a team of junior colleagues.

Starting wages vary depending on location, but on average, trainee salaries are around £18,000 outside of the capital and around £25,000 plus in London. After qualification, salaries can rapidly increase to £42,000, with bonuses such as company cars and medical insurance a regular occurrence.

With salaries so enticing and the industry being so competitive, typically accountants are required to be graduates or even postgraduates. Specific degrees in maths or accounting are not always required, with many graduates from science or humanities entering the profession after a successful training period.

Most employers offer on the job training contracts for chartered institute membership of bodies such as the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

Accountants are required to keep up-to-date with any developments in the field, so professional development is encouraged.
