A few tasks that CPAs do are:

• working by yourself
• working with customers/clients
• using computers
• working with numbers

Most of the time they're working inside and at a desk. They do some travelling here and there. They do a lot of reading, writing, and calculating. They spend almost all of their time working with customers and clients.

Most accountants and auditors work a standard 40 hours a week. But there is a lot of overtime when tax season comes around. Tax specialists and others who own their own business tend to work longer hours.

When working as a CPA, you need to be organized and precise. You will also need good communication and time management skills.
