Why do people think Accountants only do tax work? - Page 2

    Every time I visit my relatives and they ask me how work is, I tell them that work is good, but it’s just busy. Then they ALWAYS reply, “Yeah, it must be busy especially at tax season!” Since I work in Financial Accounting, not Tax, I don’t get affected by tax season. I explain to my relatives about that and they just say, “Oh I see.” And then a few months later when I visit them again, they ask me, “So how’s tax season treating ya?” And I correct them again! And the next time I visit them again, they have another “tax season” comment to make. Then lather, rinse, and repeat.

    I mean, ok, you made the mistake once or twice, but after a while, I’m like grrrrrrrr!!!! Why does everyone insist that Accounting is just tax work? We can do audit, tax, finance, forensic, etc…. Don’t people understand that??
