Controller’s Guidebook: The Role of Technology in Retaining and Recruiting Accountants

Understand the Role of Technology in Accountant Retention and Recruitment

Conversations around the Great Resignation and the concept of “quiet quitting” have dominated news reports and workplace conversations over the past several years, yet little analysis has been given to these topics as they relate to accountants and their employers. Most pressing - what can we learn about recruitment and retention in the accounting industry from the accountant’s perspective? 

Hear from Stefan van Duyvendijk, Accounting Operations Evangelist at FloQast and Dee Warmath, PhD, Assistant Professor and Director of the Consumer Analytics Program at the University of Georgia, as they review FloQast’s latest report, “Controller’s Guidebook: The Great Recalibration - The Role of Technology in Retaining and Recruiting Accountants” based on a survey of hundreds of accounting professionals utilizing academic approaches to provide a quantified, in-depth and critical perspective on the current state of the accounting industry, its technology, and its professionals.

In this session, you will learn about:

• What factors are keeping accountants in their roles - and what’s driving them away

• How accountants are recalibrating their professional lives to gain more fulfillment

• What opportunities employers have to improve recruitment and retention within their accounting teams
