The Great Accountants Shortage: A Crisis Unfolding

Kicking things off with a jaw-dropping fact: the US is currently facing a shortage of over 300,000 accountants. Yes,you read that right, THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND!. As shocking as it sounds, even a major news outlet, The Washington Post has labeled this shortage as a “threat to capitalism’s future.” Now, if that doesn’t make you sit up and take notice, nothing will.

Between 2019 and 2021, the number of accountants and auditors in the US dropped by a staggering 17%. Businesses are struggling with financial reporting delays, their staff is stretched thinner than a piece of paper and regulators are getting restless by the minute.

In short, the accounting landscape is in urgent need of a makeover. But don’t worry, Miles is here with a solution, their STEM in account strategy is the knight in shining armor that the US accounting industry needs.
