Calvin Freed, CPA (inact.)’s Post

There’s a hiring crisis in accounting, and leading firms are looking inward to make themselves more desirable to coveted candidates. "In an industry facing an escalating talent shortage, accounting firms have a unique opportunity to emerge as premier destinations for top CPAs," Eric Abati, CEO of San Antonio-based Regional Leader ATKG, recently told Accounting Today. "Simply put: Culture wins." Read more about recruiting amidst the accounting staffing crisis in our roundup. #hiring #accounting

"What do you mean they took another offer?" It happened AGAIN to one of our clients seeking an accounting manager. We found the perfect candidate - a CPA with over 8 years of experience and outstanding skills. They interviewed over a couple weeks and hit it off with the team. Just as our client prepared an offer, the candidate accepted another role that moved faster - receiving an offer in just 3 days compared to weeks with our client. In today's competitive job market, top accounting talent won't wait around. This candidate had multiple companies pursuing them. While our client's process lagged, another firm acted decisively. Don't let inefficient hiring cause you to miss out on perfect-fit candidates. Top talent has options, so move quickly. Streamline processes and partner with experts to land elite candidates before competitors do. #hiring #accounting #finance #tips

Hello connections Experience Over Degrees: As someone with substantial hands-on experience in accounting and finance, I’ve encountered a significant hurdle in my job search: the requirement for a formal degree. Despite my proven track record and practical skills, I often find myself overlooked because I don’t have the “right” piece of paper. It’s time we start recognizing the value of experience and real-world expertise in hiring practices. Many talented professionals are out there who, like me, have developed their skills through hard work and dedication but face barriers due to traditional degree requirements. I believe that the future of hiring should focus more on what candidates can do, rather than where they’ve studied. Companies that embrace this mindset will not only find more diverse and capable talent but will also drive innovation by leveraging unique perspectives. To all the hiring managers and decision-makers out there: Let’s shift the narrative. Look beyond the degree and see the potential in experience. Let’s create opportunities for those who have the skills and passion to make a difference. If anyone has advice, insights, or knows of opportunities in accounting and finance that value experience, I’d love to connect and discuss further. #ExperienceMatters #HiringPractices #Accounting #Finance #JobSearch
