Critical Accountant Shortage
The accounting profession’s staffing shortage has finally reached critical status after nearly a decade of declining accounting graduates. A drop in CPA exam candidates and an aging workforce in existing firms are both attributed to crisis-level shortages. The critical status was made obvious in a recent CPA Trendlines survey that revealed over 42% of accounting firms nationwide were turning away work due to staffing shortages. What’s further is another 24% said they were approaching burnout.
