Doing public accounting you should just expect to work long hours, as its pretty rare not to. In industry, it can vary widely. I work in industry and have been working 40 hours a week at my current company, but have worked at other places where I was logging 60 hours regularly.

Most accountants don't work long hours... unless it's required by the company, or you don't have adequate staff, i.e. for a tax season. If you take a position that requires long hours - essentially they are understaffing - then be sure to negotiate a salary that is line with the workload.

While ACCAqualified accountants work 44 hours per week on average, this differs by sector. Professionals in the corporate sector and financial services work the longest hours, on average 45 hours each week. Members in the not-for-profit and public sectors, on the other hand, work an average of only 42 hours per week.

Work weeks well exceed 40 hours and force some people to work Saturdays and even Sundays. Unlike most jobs, those working in public accounting must complete the majority of their work in three and one half months during the year. Even when the hours calm down after busy season, the demands of the job can still exceed 40 hours a week.

I've worked in a lot of different accounting jobs. Let me give you a real life example: Small Firm (~100 people): Jan - May was 50 hour weeks. I usually got my work done in 40 hours and charged an extra 2 hours per weekday. Yes, I know, ethically wrong. But it made the partners happy. Government - State Department: 40 hours per week, never any more.
