"In another year of unprecedented change, numerous accounting professionals told us about the effects the Great Resignation is having on their hours, work-life balance, wellness and overall satisfaction," the site noted. "Many accounting professionals tell us they feel overworked due to staff shortages and underpaid for the extra work they're taking on, and don't think their firms will be able to sustain the pace they're on if hiring doesn't increase."

PwC ranked No. 1 in prestige and No 1. in all three practice areas (audit and assurance, tax and forensic accounting).
