women are outpacing men as new hires in the tax and accounting industry today, according to new 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research.

female headcounts are advancing at annualized rates of 5.5 percent in overall employment, 7.3 percent at cpa firms, and 10.6 percent in payroll services, according to 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research.

at the same time, payroll is emerging as one of the most volatile sectors, with staff up 7.5 percent in the latest month, while wages dropped 8.8 percent year-on-year.

in metairie, la., a source at a three-partner partner firm reports they are looking for a cpa with the right “mix of technical skills and communication skills.”  “it’s very important to be able to communicate issues with both management and clients,” the source tells 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间. at the same time, work at the firm has its challenges. “although we strive to give clients the best service possible, it is sometimes to the detriment of our work/life balance.”

at a 12-partner cpa firm with offices scattered across colorado, 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 hears from an insider that they are seeking to promote from within. “we are cultivating staff-level employees because we need middle managers and supervisors who already have some experience.”
