Allison L. Reynolds, CPA PLLC’s Post

There's a stark difference between how accountants and non-accountants are responding to the current state of public accounting: - Accountants are worried. They are worried about the talent shortage, impact of PE, pressure to raise rates, etc. - Non-accountants are EXCITED. They see an industry ready for change, and jumping in to buy accounting firms, build solutions, and be involved in any way they can. No never-seen-before insight from this, just an interesting observation.
