General Session
- Burnout Is Not a Buzzword: What’s Fueling CPA Exhaustion in 2025
Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse. Sometimes it looks like Jen, the overachiever turned bottleneck. Or Marcus, the steady performer who’s quietly disengaging. Or Priya, a rising star buried in work that should be automated. In this data-backed session, explore the trends fueling CPA burnout today - compressed seasons, AI disruption, staffing shortages, and the systemic shifts that can either relieve the pressure or make it worse.
Walk away with:
- A better understanding of burnout’s root causes (beyond just “long hours”)
- A framework for recognizing early burnout signals in your team
- Research-informed strategies for boosting resilience and preserving productivity
