Wait, won’t that also mean that these senior accountants would end up treating their juniors as nothing more than personal coffee-makers? LOL. Kidding aside, I guess those simple tasks that they don’t have time to do are tasks that only accounting graduates can handle.

I suppose it also depends on the size of the firm the junior accountant works for. He will probably have a more important / hands-on role for smaller firms whereas he will “simply” be one of the cogs in a much larger firm.
