Our Industry is Facing a Crisis

Reports show that over 300,000 accountants and auditors have left the industry in the last two years alone, and colleges are seeing 36% fewer accounting grads compared to 12 years ago.

The need for talent is not slowing down. In fact, The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts an average of 136,400 job openings for accountants and auditors every year for the coming decade.
