People with accounting skills are available, but finding those who can interpret the numbers, interact effectively with leadership and provide a level of analysis necessary for growth is where the difficulty lies.
Additionally, a growing number of firms need accounting professionals who can support compliance efforts and understand both the financial and information technology aspects of various business improvement initiatives to assist in strategic analysis and decision-making processes. Accounting professionals who posses these skills are often referred to as a “next generation accountant” and are in great demand.
If you need a next generation accountant, the best way to locate them is to partner with a third-party recruiter who has experience—and success—finding the most qualified candidates to meet your current needs. Based on their knowledge of the marketplace, they can help you locate candidates with the specific talent and experience you most desire.
