Irish Accountants See Global Demand

As if more proof were required, but U.S. accountants need not wonder whether they compete in a global market for talent and services.

The Irish Association of Chartered Certified Accountants reports the demand for trained accountants has never been greater, nor have firms and employers encountered such difficulty in finding and keeping them.

The top trends will be familiar to every U.S. CPA, including:

  1. The finance role is becoming more strategic
  2. A war for specialist talent is raging, and
  3. Demand for finance professionals is surging.
