The CPA and Accountant Shortage


Financial professionals are in short supply. Though the industry peaked in 2019, the number of accountants, CPAs, and corporate finance workers dropped by 17% by 2021. The shortage of CPAs and accountants ultimately impacts the quality of audits and thereby exposes companies to greater risk.

As for whether the shortage of accountants and CPAs will continue into 2023, all current signs point to the answer being a resounding “yes.” Troy Janes is going to let us know what we need to know about the growing talent shortage and how companies can maintain quality even amid these droughts.
