#307 - When Your Spouse Doesn't Get What It's Like To Be An Accountant

The CPA MOMS Podcast

This week I want to talk about something many accountant moms experience: your spouse might not really get what it’s like to be an accountant. They know you work hard, but they might not fully understand what your job really involves.

Maybe they see you sitting at your desk, typing away at spreadsheets, or taking calls from clients, but they don’t realize just how much pressure you’re under. They might not know about the tight deadlines, the need to be super accurate, or how draining it can be when work spills over into your personal life.

It’s not that your spouse doesn’t care—they probably just don’t see things from your perspective. Accounting can seem pretty straightforward to someone who isn’t in the field.

When your spouse doesn't get what it's like to be an accountant, it can add an extra layer of stress to an already demanding life. But with patience, communication, and a bit of effort, it's possible to bridge that gap and create a more supportive and understanding partnership.

This week, I’m going to discuss the unique challenges of being an accountant mom, common misunderstandings between spouses, and suggestions for getting your spouse on board.
