How can we rise above the accounting talent shortage?
Join host Rob Brown and co-host Jeff Phillips, CEO of Padgett and Co-Founder of Accountingfly, on the Accounting Talent Podcast as they tackle the burning question: Is accounting doomed due to a talent drought? With candor and clarity, this episode dives headfirst into the challenges that have left firms across the country scrambling to fill roles—and what forward-thinking leaders can do about it.

From rethinking remote work to revamping your employer brand, Jeff and Rob explore actionable strategies firms can use today to attract top talent. They discuss why firms must adapt or risk falling behind, and what innovative leaders are doing to thrive in a post-pandemic, tech-driven hiring landscape. You’ll also hear stories from the field—real examples of firms who are winning the talent game by doing things differently.
