talent retention: five tips for an audit adjustment
dodge the perfect storm of quiet quitting, the great resignation and busy season.
by chis vanover
chris vanover is an outspoken survivor of the big 4 and pcaob and has committed himself and auditclub.cpa to helping transform how public accounting firms deliver audit and assurance services.
the accounting industry is facing a growth in demand but suffering a squeeze on available talent.
bloomberg tax calculates that the number of accountants and auditors employed fell 17 percent between 2019 and 2021. the shortage starts on the supply side: the number of u.s. students completing bachelor’s degrees in accounting declined from 2016 to 2020, according to the aicpa’s 2021 trends report.

the short supply is aggravated by high turnover and growing demand. accountants have been leaving corporations and audit firms in record numbers. though it’s been expected for some time that baby boomer retirements would produce a talent crunch, the crunch has been earlier and tighter than expected because of the great resignation.

q: why did the accountant cross the road?
a: because they did it last year.
erik solbakken, a.k.a. “the heavy metal cpa,” is on a mission to free accountants from an oppressive business model. solbakken spent 18 years working his way up to be a partner in a firm in canada, but when the partnership fell apart, he was liberated to create a new kind of firm, where he and his staff never worked overtime and he made more money. today, he acts as the guide he wishes he’d had when he started out, empowering accountants to create firms they love working in.

jennifer wilson has been advising and coaching firms on better ways to run their firms for years, so she has had an inside view of how firms perform well or perform badly. wilson said that building a sustainable firm that attracts and retains the best people and that the younger generation wants to own will require changes from how many traditional firms have operated.

though firms quickly switched to remote work at the pandemic’s peak to create a culture of “anytime, anywhere work,” many are now moving backward. some firms are giving wishy-washy messages about returning to the office, which makes remote team members feel they have little chance of promotion. “smart firms are not rolling backward right now,” wilson said. they are finding ways to do “mass customization and personalization of schedules and workplaces” to make everything work for team members, work for clients and work for the firm.
this may mean making tough decisions to let clients or underperforming staff go.
