more arc: analysis, reaction, comedy

let’s be honest: the accounting profession isn’t exactly known for work-life balance. long hours, tax season sprints, and “just one more thing” emails can leave even the most seasoned pros teetering on the edge of burnout.

in this episode of arc, hosts liz mason, cpa; donny shimamoto, cpa.citp, cgma; and byron patrick, cpa.citp, cgma, confront that edge—and explain why healthy boundaries are more than just trendy jargon. they’re essential tools for staying sane, productive, and professionally respected.
