78%  of business owners go through burnout and accounting firm owners are not immune, in fact the statistics get worse in our industry with 99% of accountants reporting burnout. 85% of accounting professionals admit that burnout negatively affects their work. Burnout has been defined as a real medical condition with distinct causes – which is good news, because despite its increasing prevalence it can actually be stopped and prevented by implementing fairly simple steps in your personal life and your business.

By understanding burnout and implementing steps to prevent it for yourself and your team, you build stronger teams and better practices that have happier clients.

Tamryn Dicks

Tamryn is an Accidental Accountant (accounting was not in the original life plan!) who set out to be a successful business owner and very fast discovered that being a business owner is much harder than she thought. After three rounds of burnout, Tamryn decided that something had to change, so she reevaluated everything in her life and changed the way she did things. First, she went nomadic and travelled her country for seven years while running her business remotely. While healing her burnout, she spent time learning how to be a business owner. She managed to restructure her business into an actual business (not a job!) that could run without her. She also turned out to be a glutton for punishment with an irrepressible urge to start new businesses. Human Edge was created to help accounting firms find great, productive team members with the least amount of effort, stress and admin. Tamryn’s background in accounting, her experience in hiring for her own firm and in building her own team, and her experience in running 100% digital and remote-working businesses, all combined to make her the perfect person to help UK accountants find amazing remote-working team members. In her own words: “I believe my perspective is unique - as an accountant, I understand your business finances and can help you understand them, but as a business owner myself, I understand what matters to you!”
