According to recent research, the accounting industry faces a significant staffing crisis. The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) reports that 75% of public accounting firms have been unable to fill open positions due to a lack of qualified candidates. Additionally, a study by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) reveals that the demand for accounting professionals is expected to grow by 6% over the next decade, further exacerbating the talent gap. Recent research adds to the issue’s importance, showing that fewer than one-fourth of accounting and finance teams feel their accounting and recruiting efforts have been successful.
