Course Description

The traditional accounting profession is coming into the digital age and more and more opportunities are becoming available to work remotely. A significant number of CPAs, accountants and tax pros have embraced remote working with the most recent events happening. This, in turn, has made the offshoring concept widely accepted. For 25 years it has been available in the industry but has been ignored as a long-term solution. With staffing shortages in the accounting industry becoming more prevalent, firms are “thinking outside the box” in finding solutions. Is offshoring right for you?

But the questions are

Staffing is the #1 challenge from sole practitioners to 500+ person firms! How are firms navigating the evolving staffing shortages?
Are firms staying in the remote environment temporarily?
How does this concept enable my future growth plan?
How do I go about hiring offshore on my own or through a firm?

During this online CPE webinar, we will answer some pertinent questions related to offshoring and how firms can mitigate the ongoing staffing shortages.
