however, there are hundreds of thousands of qualified accountants in north america, not to mention thousands more coming out of college.

attracting them involves a portfolio of benefits. here are 10 benefits you can mix, match and tweak to make your firm the one they choose.

  1. highlight work-life balance: offer schedule flexibility, remote work options, paid and unpaid time off and reasonable workloads to appeal to candidates prioritizing personal and professional balance.
  2. offer competitive compensation: provide salaries and benefits that align with or exceed industry standards, including bonuses, retirement plans and wellness perks. the cost of a decent salary may be less than the cost of lengthy (and repeated) searches.
  3. provide professional development opportunities: support continuing education, professional certifications (e.g., cpa exam reimbursement), time and support for cpe, and access to conferences or training programs.
  4. build a strong employer brand: don’t be shy about the quality of your workplace. showcase your firm’s unique culture through a blog, podcast, social media, testimonials from current employees, and a well-designed careers page.
  5. create a collaborative and inclusive culture: foster an environment of teamwork, diversity and respect where employees feel valued and supported. their morale will be known in other circles.
  6. implement a mentorship program: pair new hires with experienced team members to provide guidance, career advice and growth opportunities. talk about this program on your career page, social media and calls for talent.
  7. emphasize career growth paths: clearly communicate opportunities for advancement within the firm, such as leadership roles or specialization in niche areas. ask prospective hires what they would be looking for.
  8. leverage employee referrals: incentivize current employees to refer qualified candidates by offering bonuses or other rewards for successful hires.
  9. use modern recruitment tools: utilize job boards, linkedin, employment sites and recruitment agencies specializing in accounting professionals. consider ai-driven tools for matching candidates to job openings.
  10. engage with universities and professional associations: build relationships with accounting programs, offer internships, sponsor events or speak at industry seminars to connect with upcoming talent. let people know that you’re searching for talent.

above all, talk it up. use social media, networking events, blogs, podcasts, radio interviews, classroom presentations, college events – every possible opportunity – to talk up the fact that your firm is a forward-thinking workplace where professionals are happy to work.
