“Our firm is very flexible with where and when you work as long as you show the personal responsibility to complete assignments. I do not think it is unique to our firm but using vacation time is getting harder and harder. We no longer have a traditional busy season period and then a slower period. Add to that the talent crunch and it is very hard to take extended time off.”

“Being a CPA in tax and advisory services is a big life commitment. We work about 2,400 hours per year, with a lot of those hours concentrated between January to April and August October. During those busy seasons, we can expect to work anywhere from 45 to 80 hours per week (outside of those months, 40 hours per week is the expectation). It’s hard to have balance during busy season.”

“Quality of live discussions occur regularly. The firm is very flexible when the need arises to take time for family or to recover from illness or loss. Coverage when others take time off is not always available, and sometimes work flow slows down because there are bottlenecks.”

“Rehmann is very flexible with associates and allows alternative work arrangements for reduced hours or flex time. We have good technology to work from anywhere, and you have the ability to make your own hours, but there is always the expectation to meet your commitments. Being able to sign on from home at night allows you to leave early for something and not have any issues with getting hours in or meeting a commitment. Now, during Covid, there is flexibility with respect to working from home or the office—it’s the associate’s preference.”
