What does it take to move from diagnosing accounting’s talent challenges to actually fixing them? In the finale of IPA’s Rewriting the Story of Accounting series, Chelsea Summers and Rob Brown turn the conversation into a practical action plan for firm leaders.

They discuss why firms should improve the employee experience before rewriting their recruiting materials, how AI and offshore capacity can create more meaningful early-career work and why unanswered candidate questions should be treated as strategic feedback.

They also explore promotion transparency, internships, earlier student outreach, local pipeline development and the role firms, associations and individuals can play in changing the profession’s story.
