If you spend more than 30min on fishbowl you’ll notice there are more than enough accountants looking for jobs. Why do they claim there’s a shortage of accountants?

Simple because they don’t want to spend any money training the new college grads and would rather offshore the jobs

They’re taking shortcuts

Yeah it’s crazy. At some point enough middle size clients are going to leave firms that offshore, especially as it takes more and more positions. Right now low experienced are the hard hit of offshoring. Seniors will be next and at some point it seems like the only people left are going to be salesman with an offshore team to do the work lol.

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting?

Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
