overall growth was a healthy 8.44 percent, similar to but slightly higher than recent years.
firms with revenues between $100 million and $1 billion outpaced the others in growth mode, although mergers had a great deal to do with that.
the most difficult challenge cited was – no surprise – recruiting and retaining qualified staff, especially those with three to five years of experience. pressure is being put on the talent pool by retiring baby boomers only exacerbates the problem. tools to counter it include: read more →

today’s best career advice: join the survey; get the answers.
by rick telberg
at 20 years old, the world was a blank canvas with vast opportunities for sal inserra. he thought he knew exactly what he wanted in life.
“until,” he once told me, “i was set straight.”
like many cpas, sal owes much of his career and success to a few key mentors who guided him early on.
today — as the kids head back to school and college, and as the rest of us wind up our summers and look ahead to the fall — it may be a good time to salute the mentors who help steward a great profession to the next generation. read more →

i’m looking over the early responses to our new cpa careers survey and one stands out for its practicality and wisdom. this from a veteran senior finance manager at a fortune 1000 company is, i think, 18 pieces of the best advice i’ve ever heard.

a sign of economic recovery and increased competition.
bringing in new business and finding top-notch staffers to handle anticipated growth are emerging as the new, most pressing challenges for cpa firms today.
with a rebounding economy, the aicpa says in its new pcps “top issues survey” that client retention, which had been a significant concern for firms in the 2009 survey, has been overtaken by a tilt toward growth issues.
“finding qualified staff” was a top issue from 1997 to 2007 for all but the smallest firms, but disappeared entirely from top 5 lists in 2009. now it’s back.
some 37 percent of finance and accounting workers say they are likely to look for a new job in the next 12 months, an increase from 33 percent last quarter.
fifty-three percent say they are not likely to job search, falling five percentage points from the previous quarter.
confidence among u.s. finance and accounting workers decreased 2.4 points to 53.4 in the first quarter of 2013 after rebounding in the last quarter of 2012. read more →
rationalizing a broken system and recapturing two-thirds of lost value.
with cpa firms and corporations rushing to staff up with a suddenly warming economy, finance and accounting employment agencies are booming. but it can’t last. sooner, rather than later, the internet will change everything.
dan gaffney, a cpa, cia, cisa and a 20-year audit veteran, in both public accounting and in corporate, is positioning himself to take advantage of the paradigm shift. he’s out to revolutionize the finance and accounting temp business.
his chicago-based incubation-stage start-up, vouchedin.com, is seeking to do to short-term staffing placements what monster did to newspaper classifieds and what apple did to the recording industry: leverage the internet to cut out the middleman, re-channeling profits to both the worker and the employer. it could change a big part of the accounting profession as well. – the editors read more →
