It depends. My sister graduated with an Accounting degree and worked for an accounting firm. She worked, on average, 50 hours a week. If you intend to take the CPA exam, add another 20-25 hours a week of studying and preparation. From what I've witnessed, it's tough. She now works for a private firm's accounting department. She averages about 45 hours a week.

In most companies, If it's month-end closing or budget season, one will typically work about 60 hours a week or more.

I'm a Budget Analyst and when I do budgets, I work typically 50+ hours a week for at least three months.
