Industry leaders highlight
"Employers looking to attract and retain accounting and finance staff should focus on strategies that enhance productivity and offer incentives tied to those improvements. Over the past 12 months, we have seen this approach work particularly well for us, as it keeps employees engaged in the day-to-day business and allows them to grow professionally, with financial incentives and significant learning and development in return.
The accounting profession has historically been viewed as financial custodians. As we look ahead to 2025, the skills required for both junior and senior accounting professionals are evolving beyond traditional financial stewardship. I strongly encourage accounting staff to invest in critical areas such as business partnering, project management, strategy execution, and machine learning."
