  • Identify evolving career progression expectations among accounting professionals.
  • Apply leadership development practices to build stronger internal talent pipelines.

Course Overview

Accounting organizations need more than short-term hiring fixes to keep emerging professionals engaged. This course explores how CPA leaders can strengthen retention, succession planning, and talent development by creating clearer career pathways, stronger recognition systems, and more intentional leadership pipelines. Modern talent strategy requires visible growth opportunities, consistent development of conversations, and shared accountability between HR and accounting leadership.

As the third course in the Coaching the Next Generation of CPAs series, this course focuses on the systems that help organizations retain and develop accounting talent over time. Participants will examine evolving career expectations, common organizational gaps, leadership pipeline risks, recognition strategies, succession planning practices, and a practical 90-day action framework for implementing a stronger talent strategy.

Major Topics

  • Career progression expectations
  • Common organizational talent gaps
  • Internal leadership pipelines
  • Recognition and engagement systems
  • Succession risk in accounting
  • HR and leadership collaboration
  • 90-day talent strategy roadmap
     

By the end of the course, participants will be better equipped to identify retention risks, build stronger succession readiness, and create a more structured development experience for emerging accounting professionals. A practical talent strategy helps organizations preserve knowledge, reduce leadership disruption, and support long-term workforce stability.
