John Randolph concludes his conversation with Rob Brown of Accounting Influencers on Episode 67 of CPA Life . Focusing on talent and leadership in accounting from multiple perspectives, they delve into the need for entrepreneurial spirit, and the importance of taking risks and overcoming the fear of judgment. They analyze the pandemic-induced shift to remote and hybrid working, noting that while it’s clearly better for the rank-and-file, it’s not without negatives, particularly the loss of mentorship and osmosis-style learning. They highlight the importance of intentionality and deliberate actions by leaders to maintain culture and productivity in the fact of this, touching on what a complex problem talent acquisition and retention is. The fact that a large proportion of accountants are nearing retirement age and that the pipeline shows fewer new entrants into the profession just underscores the problem further. With this backdrop, they emphasize the critical need for firms to better articulate what makes them unique to attract and retain talent effectively, stressing the power of storytelling and personal testimonies in showcasing a firm's culture and values.

Host John Randolph kicks off a special two part conversation with Allan Fisher, president and founder of Premier Financial Search, on Episode 63 of CPA Life . Continuing the theme of recruiting in the profession, they explore the ongoing transformation in public accounting, focusing on building a sustainable, people-centric work culture. Allan’s “unconventionally conventional” path to recruiting did take him through work as an accountant, so as a recruiter, he is able to frame things “from the other side.” He discusses how firms that have adapted to retain talent in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic have seen better talent acquisition and lower turnover, emphasizing empathetic leadership and enhanced benefits, and stressing that it’s not enough to just show up to an interview with a candidate anymore—you need to send your best. This all ties into the necessity for a progressive approach to recruitment, ensuring firms attract and maintain top talent by continuously improving their practices and culture.

And although many firms claim to value their employees, be committed to work-life balance and innovative practices, and so forth, Chris has proven they mean what they say, with an offered 50K sign-on bonus (the highest publicly known bonus in American accounting history) being one such indicator that they do things a little bit differently. Tune in for part one of this conversation with insights on the value of real honesty, data-driven decisions, and building a culture that nurtures personal and professional growth.
