in the u.s., tax and accounting firms are adding jobs at a robust 7% rate, but that’s still short of what’s needed.

from arizona to zimbabwe, and dublin to cinncinatti, tax and accounting firms are telling 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 that they are so short of staff they’re turning away new business.
the scramble for talent is global and it’s forcing fundamental changes in how accountants do business.
reports are coming into 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 from around the world and they are dismally similar:
tucson, ariz.: at r&a cpas, chief recruiter nancy allison says they’re turning to “hiring fully remote employees, making fully remote and hybrid work permanent for existing team members, and utilizing outsourced services for tax preparation assistance.”
marondera, zimbabwe: accountancy consultant billy ndlovu tells 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 they are turning away new clients even as they battle the covid upheavals that are “changing how we do things.”
dublin, ireland: anthony casey at noone casey is staying ahead of the curve by finding productivity gains in remote working and picking up new staffers with specialty skills.
cincinnatti: back in the u.s., rick kruse at kruse & crawford is turning to new technology even as they trim their headcount.
卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 polling shows about 64 percent of firms are seeking to add additional staffers, even as 60 percent of firms are turning away new work due to the crippling shortage of new hands.
cas revenues are surging 20 percent, but profits are lagging. discuss.

growth in client accounting services appears to be accelerating, but the expansion may underlie simultaneous growth in personnel turnover and trouble in the pipeline of professionals, according to new research.
the new benchmarking study found a burgeoning median growth rate of 20 percent, nearly double the rate of 2018. net client fees per professional shot up by 17 percent to average $112,293 as cas practices continued to move toward fixed fee and value billing methods.
and apparently, profits could have been even higher.
in my strategy work with accounting firms, i hear over and over how firms can’t attract talent, how talented individuals are being recruited away to other firms or other industries with significant salary increases. i hear managing partners telling me that their marketing teams and partners are afraid to bring in new clients since the staff they have are already stretched beyond what is reasonable to expect.
now with private-equity investments in accounting firms, this fight for talent will only get more intense.
