The O/T is for 'support' staff (admin assistants), not client-serving personnel (i.e., CA's and CPA's).
I believe in Israel the firms all pay overtime too.
It depends on your country's rules as to whether this or that type of professional is eligible for overtime.
In the US and Canada you certainly aren't - and in Canada there's really nothing vague about the law. Salaried professionals (CAs, CA students too) = no overtime.
Admin assistants = overtime.
