• Demand and supply
• Over the past decade, as businesses have grown
  and tax regulations have become increasingly
  complex, demand for accountants has continued to
  grow. However, with fewer students choosing to
  pursue the profession of accounting, it has led
  to a significant shortage of certified
  professionals.

• After-effects of the pandemic
• While the pandemic is behind us now, with so many
  companies having to reduce their hiring and
  training during this period due to economic
  uncertainty, they are now finding it hard to both
  attract and retain the best accounting talent,
  adding to the overall shortage of qualified
  accountants.
• What can be done to address the shortage?
• Requiring immediate attention, the lack of
  certified accountants countrywide has forced many
  companies to consider outsourcing their
  requirements. Helping them reinforce their
  workforce and gain access to the top talent
  globally, outsourcing is helping firms meet all
  of their accounting needs, while still being able
  to take on new clients and boost profitability.

• Many outsourced accounting agencies have a pool
  of professionals who are highly skilled and
  highly motivated, and who can be hired to work on
  projects as and when needed helping businesses
  maintain their workload and high standards, while
  spending less than they would on in-house hires.
  In-house hires need to be trained and paid a
  salary and benefits, and so by outsourcing and
  paying only for the tasks that need completing,
  companies can save money and free up their
  existing staff to focus on core work.

  unique market advantage. And, by being able to

  them!) and having more time to focus on your core
  services, your accounting professionals can
  maintain their high standards and as a firm, even
  afford to invest in the latest industry
  technology.
