  • Accounting Talent Shortage: Technology as a Key Solution
    Dean highlights a decline in accounting graduates and an aging workforce as key factors in the talent crisis. He advocates for technology investments to enhance efficiency and attract Gen Z talent. By automating tasks, firms can focus on advisory roles, providing purpose and balance sought by younger employees. Technology also aids in client profitability assessment and outsourcing less profitable tasks.
  • Accounting Labor Shortage: Supply-Demand Imbalance and Generational Shifts
    Dean highlights a supply-demand gap with 136K annual job openings but only 66K graduates in 2022. Generational differences and a retiring workforce exacerbate the issue. He notes that IRS hiring is unlikely to impact smaller CPA firms due to mismatched work environment expectations for Generation Z.
