😮💨 74% of accountants have felt burnout symptoms this past year. 44% feel it often or constantly.

That's not just tiredness; 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Heavy workloads, tight deadlines, and always-on client expectations are taking a toll, especially on younger accountants finding their feet.

The good news? Early action makes a real difference. Regular movement, taking real leave, sharing the load with colleagues, and talking to someone when it gets heavy, these aren't luxuries. They're part of doing this job well for the long run.

Check on a colleague today. 💚

Two sessions, two real risk areas, both live next week.

The CIBA roadshow doesn't start on stage it starts in the room. Based at Bolivia Lodge, we sat down with Polokwane stakeholders to talk practice growth, compliance and what finance professionals in Limpopo need from CIBA.

Next stop: Johannesburg, today and tomorrow. Then Durban and Cape Town. The tour keeps moving because the work doesn't stop at one province.
