Work/Life Balance Greatest Source of Stress for Accounting, Finance Pros
The survey, developed by Accountemps, asked CFOs, “Which of the
following do you think is the greatest source of workplace stress for
accounting and finance professionals?”
Forty-one percent of chief financial officers (CFOs) interviewed in a recent study said trying to find work/life balance is the greatest source of workplace stress for accounting and finance professionals. Office politics or conflicts with coworkers was cited by 28 percent of respondents.
Here are the results:
- Trying to balance work and personal demands—41%
- Office politics or conflicts with coworkers—28%
- Keeping current with changing accounting and finance regulations—16%
- Higher workloads—9%
- Challenging commute—4%
- Don't know/no answer—2%
“Work/life balance may seem like an issue for individuals, but it
also should be a concern for businesses,” said Max Messmer, chairman of
Accountemps and author of Human Resources Kit For Dummies® 2nd edition
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc.). “Whether it's through flexible work
schedules, telecommuting arrangements or other options, companies can
benefit from helping their teams balance professional and personal
objectives. Organizations that commit to these efforts enhance morale
and productivity and make their businesses more appealing places to
work.”
The national study was developed by Accountemps. It was conducted by an independent research firm and is based on more than 1,400 telephone interviews with CFOs from a random sample of U.S. companies with 20 or more employees.

I would be stressed too if I had to balance numbers all day. We have a biometric time clock to help with payroll at work. I'm not sure what we'd do without it!
