Summary
Tax season is almost over, but the accounting industry in the U.S. is struggling to staff up due to a wave of retirements and a drop in the number of people pursuing accounting degrees. Many accountants are leaving the profession due to inadequate pay and long hours. However, there are opportunities for mathematically inclined professionals to secure stable, high-paying jobs in accounting. Companies are increasing salaries and offering remote or hybrid options to attract talent. Retaining accountants will require reducing overtime hours, providing clear paths for advancement, and implementing retention strategies recommended by industry reports. Despite some layoffs in 2023, accountants are considered highly valued employees with low risk of being laid off.
