in the latest episode of move like this, tricia bencich, inclusion and social responsibility associate director at moss adams, returns to the show to tackle a topic that resonated deeply with attendees of the 2024 move mini summit: mental load. with more than 1,000 attendees at her session alone, it’s clear that the idea of “invisible labor” is striking a chord, especially with women in the workplace.
mental load, bencich explains, isn’t just about the physical tasks we perform but the cognitive effort involved in managing them. it’s not driving to the soccer game; it’s remembering the cleats, checking the weather, packing snacks, ensuring the uniforms are clean, and being an emotionally available parent – all before the car leaves the driveway. it’s this invisible, persistent, often unnoticed thinking and planning that women disproportionately carry. and, as she emphasizes, “mental load affects everyone, but research shows women continue to shoulder more of it, even if their partners work less or not at all.”

in a recent episode of move like this, ashley kostos, sales manager at accountests, joined host bonnie buol ruszczyk to explore how data-driven assessments are helping accounting firms hire smarter, retain top talent, and create clearer career paths. with ongoing staffing shortages and high turnover across the industry, testing may be the tool firms didn’t know they needed.
accountests, founded by a former pwc partner and a psychometric testing expert, offers skills, ability, and personality assessments specifically designed for the accounting profession. these tools help employers move past resume claims and polished interviews to evaluate real-world competencies, including things like understanding financial statements, tax knowledge, and software fluency. “accounting isn’t a ‘fake it till you make it’ job,” kostos emphasizes. “you need to know how to do the work.”

plus six tips for those aspiring to the role.

the rosenberg practice management library
cpa firm managing partners often serve for long periods of time. a tenure of 20 to 25 years is not uncommon. for managing partners to serve that long, they command the unwavering respect of the partners, often cling to old practices and, toward the end, may not be the visionary they once were.

vetter highlights the importance of setting boundaries to reduce stress. “we carry belief systems from when we started our careers—like feeling guilty for leaving the office at a reasonable hour,” vetter explains, “but no one is actually judging you for setting healthy boundaries. communicating expectations and structuring your day can help reduce unnecessary stress.”
