The Talent Shortage is Now a Capacity Problem
More than 300,000 U.S. accountants and auditors left their jobs between 2019 and 2021, and new hires take months to become fully productive. For most firms, the shortage shows up as work waiting for review and clients the firm can’t take on.

Why the hiring math stopped working
The shrinking talent pipeline, the new “120 + 2” licensure pathway and the real cost of ramp-up time.
Production work vs. judgment work
How separating the two protects your reviewers’ hours, with a simple formula to estimate review load.
Three ways to add capacity
Hiring, seasonal contractors and dedicated outside teams compared on speed, cost, control and risk.
Six questions to ask any provider
A due diligence list that starts with where client data is hosted and who can access it.
A 90-day starting plan
Map, pilot and measure before you scale.
Who it's for
Managing partners, owners and practice leaders at U.S. CPA, accounting, bookkeeping and CAS firms planning capacity for the year ahead.
