And that's not the all! A recent poll done by Ajilon says that 88% of respondents don't believe the stereotype that accountants are boring. The same poll found that 84% of the respondents don't think the profession is boring. These findings contradict a constant Twitter feed so you'll have to make your own conclusions on the validity of the poll. In other mind-blowing results from the poll, 98% of those surveyed "recognized that accountants work hard all year round and not only the months during tax season." The other 2% obviously assume that your 8 month vacation started last Friday. In other developments, 100% of Big 4 auditors get annoyed when their family, friends, and other non-accountants (like the ones surveyed by Ajilon) ask how their tax season went.
