Episode 3

Potential Upside to the Accounting Great Resignation

On behalf of the Accounting Influencers Broadcast Network, this is the "Insights in Accounting" show, going live every Tuesday. This show is about filling in the knowledge gaps in your busy lives as accountants and leaders in practice, plus bookkeepers, finance leaders and the software/fintech industry that serves them. It's what you missed and you didn't know you missed, and why it's important.

Episode 3. In today's interview, "Potential Upside to the Accounting Great Resignation."

Key takeaways from this episode include:

☛ why the talent crunch could be a blessing in disguise for the accounting profession

☛ whether the 'great resignation' in accountancy is actually a fact or a myth

☛ the number one thing that stops accountants and practices from being more proactive with their clients

☛ what accounting practices can do to make the work more meaningful for their staff

☛ the need to challenge a SALY mentality in accountancy - same as last year

☛ what holding clients accountable does for accounting professionals and their engagement in the work

☛ what firing the lower end clients does for accounting portfolios and why it's so difficult to do in practice

☛ shout out to Susan Bryant (previous interviews) on clients making their accountants better and accountants doing the same for clients

☛ the need to leverage technology faster and better in accounting firms (using what you've got) for greater efficiencies

Action - holding onto and attracting good staff is 'doable' if accounting firm leaders do the right things, set the right culture and put a positive spin on the great resignation.
