move like this
with bonnie buol ruszczyk
for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

on the latest move like this, host bonnie buol ruszczyk welcomes dan hood, editor-in-chief of accounting today, who has covered the profession since the late 1990s. from his vantage point, the defining theme isn’t a single issue, but the sheer volume of change: accelerating technology (especially ai), shifting demographics, new expectations for work, and the slow-building opportunity of esg. he argues these forces are intertwined: tech is enabling the shift to advisory, advisory demands new skills and career paths, and those shifts collide with multigenerational teams navigating different priorities.

the conversation quickly zeroes in on culture as a differentiator in the talent market. firms that thrive don’t rely on “nice people” and pizza in busy season; they treat culture as intentional work. that looks like clearly articulating values, reinforcing them constantly, and translating them into practices employees actually feel, including thoughtful benefits and flexibility, yes, but also visible sponsorship, personal investment in careers, and rituals that signal “this matters here.” culture, dan notes, should permeate every process, from how meetings are run to how milestones are celebrated.

by seth fineberg
the holistic guide to wealth management.

today we are cresting the biggest waves of change that i’ve seen in my 20-plus years of covering the accounting profession. i’m talking about the need for cpas to go beyond simply being the trusted tax guy (or girl) for their clients and to help them manage all aspects of their wealth. this movement has been building for the better part of a decade, but only recently has it gone from “i’ll think about it” to “can i afford not to get on board?”

not to sound the alarm bells here, but cpas must soon choose between riding the financial planning wave or being swept under it.

accounting influencers
with rob brown

the accounting profession is facing a turning point as major firms scale back diversity, equity, and inclusion (dei) initiatives, raising concerns about how the shift could affect talent recruitment, retention, and competitiveness.

kpmg recently discontinued its “accelerate 2025” program, which aimed to expand leadership diversity. deloitte pulled back last year, joining other global corporations—including goldman sachs, meta, and google—that have pared down similar efforts.

the shifts come as political and legal pressures mount. states such as florida and texas have rolled back dei policies in higher education, and a supreme court ruling on affirmative action has sent ripples across corporate america. firms that once championed dei are now weighing compliance risks and financial implications against potential reputational and workforce consequences.

the $100,000 h-1b shock: what it means for accounting talent

what changes, what doesn’t, for thousands of jobs in accounting.

in tax and audit in 2024, increases in salary bands were far from evenly distributed.

by dominic piscopo

i just consumed hours of h-1b visa content, so you don’t have to. here are my findings.

accounting isn’t the heaviest h-1b user (that’s it & tech.), but the profession still relies on international grads in audit, tax, advisory, and increasingly data and automation roles. in 2024, uscis approved around 400k h-1bs overall, with 2% to 3% of those in categories that could include accounting. so, while other industries are far more reliant on this program, there may still be thousands of roles in accounting. read more →
