In November, Paul Young, CPA, CGMA, senior executive vice president and CFO at Liberty Bank, was part of the formal recognition by the Department of Labor of the AICPA’s Registered Apprenticeship for Finance Business Partners program.

On this episode of the Journal of Accountancy podcast, Young speaks about the program, the questions he’s getting from other CFOs, and what he sees as the program’s future in addressing talent concerns.
