    THE CHALLENGE

    The accounting profession is losing its people faster than it can train them

    90%+ of accounting firms are struggling to recruit skilled accountants. 68% cite unsustainable workloads as their top concern. Seasonal peaks create predictable but unmanaged burnout cycles — partners under fee pressure, managers absorbing the load, graduates burning out and leaving. The profession is losing graduates faster than it can train them. Retention is existential.
