"Unlock Boundless Knowledge through Elite Peer Collaboration"

WHY AN ACCOUNTANTS MASTERMIND?


As a fellow accountant I’d like to share some information on the industry. In recent years, the United States has faced a growing crisis in the accounting profession. With over 300,000 accountants and auditors leaving their jobs since 2020, and 75% of U.S. CPAs reaching retirement eligibility, the industry is grappling with a severe talent shortage. This exodus has left businesses struggling to fill critical roles, potentially compromising financial accuracy and compliance.

I believe that the industry created this situation and the proposed solutions will take decades to make a dent. The solutions will come from people like us that are in the trenches with our clients while trying to grow our business and keep up with laws, technology and an inept IRS.
