SOLVE THE LEADERSHIP PROBLEM 
BEHIND ACCOUNTING BURNOUT

The accounting profession has spent decades diagnosing burnout. Firms have the data, the surveys, and the exit interviews. What they haven't had is a leadership framework built specifically for this field — one grounded in original research and tested inside real firms. Dr. Joey Collins is an I/O psychologist, SPU faculty member, and executive coach who conducted a longitudinal study of accounting professionals — examining burnout profiles, leadership behaviors, and the organizational conditions that separate firms where people thrive from firms where they burn through.

The findings are direct:

73% of professionals show meaningful burnout indicators
63% say their firm fails them when difficult clients push hardest, and 42% report their direct leadership as a primary driver of their stress.

These aren't wellness problems. They're leadership problems — and they have leadership solutions

Through firm assessments, leadership workshops, and executive coaching, Dr. Joey brings a coherent system — not generic resilience training — to accounting leaders who are ready to address the real drivers of turnover, performance erosion, and pipeline loss. Whether you're a managing partner protecting your senior talent or an emerging leader building your own practice, the work starts with understanding what the data actually shows. The profession has diagnosed the problem long enough. Let's solve it.
