Why Accountants Are Leaving the Industry (And Why I Don't Blame Them)

from Being a Business Owner · host Alexis Charkiw

Something is happening in the accountancy world that nobody is really talking about, and I think it's time someone did. Accountants are leaving. Practices are being sold. People are retiring early. And if you work with an accountant or rely on one for your business, this episode is worth a listen. I'm pulling back the curtain on what's really going on inside the industry; from the shift to digitalisation and real-time reporting, to the weight of new regulation, rising costs, and the pressure that AI is adding on top of it all. I'm sharing: Why the move to digital has completely changed what clients expect from their accountant. Why explaining numbers is a completely different skill to crunching them. The regulation changes that are quietly making the industry harder to stay profitable in. What AI and software partnerships actually mean for the future of accountancy. What to look out for when it comes to your own accountant and the questions worth asking. Because the more you understand about the world your accountant is navigating, the better conversations you can have to benefit your own business.
