Accountants work hard, and accountants certainly drink hard.

Accountants’ lives are defined by busy season. You may think it’s always busy season for accountants, but busy season is the difference between working past midnight and working past dinner. Put another way, it’s the difference between working every weekend and just working till 9pm on Friday.

The after busy season party is the best way for accountants to celebrate the end of yet another crazy year. That is until it’s time for the Q to go out. Accountants are notorious alcoholics (subject for a future post). The after busy season party is where they can get a drink on the company’s tab without having to go back to the office from the bar.

If you have an accountant friend, you can plan on being able to see them once busy season is over. This is pretty remarkable since the most you heard about them was through facebook and instant messaging.

After busy season, accountants typically go to training and scheme for ways to charge clients while being idle.
