Who looks at accounting as a sexy profession?

During a booming economy, not many people do. But when the economy tanks, well...everyone knows you can get a job if you have an accounting degree. 

In fact, accountants are more and more in demand. How has accounting changed in the last few years? Why is there a shortage? And what makes a top-dollar accountant, anyway?

On this episode of the CFO Weekly podcast, Cliff Edwards, CEO and majority shareholder of Thomas Edwards Group, talks about scouting for accounting talent

What we talked about with Cliff:

-How the accounting profession and the talent in it have changed in the last 20 years

-What's caused the shortage in accounting talent

-The factors that motivate Millennials and the qualities Millennials bring to the workplace

-...And the skills you need to be an amazing accountant!
