Accounting Talent Survey Report

We asked finance leaders and accounting professionals from across the country to share their experiences, perspectives and insights into the accounting talent landscape and labor market. They answered. In fact, 800 executive finance leaders took the CFO talent survey, weighing in on everything from Covid-19's impact on hiring and retention to how the talent pipeline is driving their top challenges and strategic goals for the new year.
