The Accountant Shortage Is Real

If it feels harder to get your accountant on the phone this year, it’s not you and your CPA didn’t get worse.

The profession is short hundreds of thousands of people, and fewer students are entering the pipeline every year.

Firms are absorbing more clients with fewer hands, so response times slip and the relationship starts feeling transactional instead of personal.

From the client’s seat, that shows up as slower turnaround, less proactive advice, and a nagging feeling you’ve become “just a filing.”

The owners who stay a priority client are the ones who make themselves easy to serve — clean books, organized documents, communication on a schedule instead of in a scramble.

That’s not about being a bigger client; it’s about being a well-run one, and it’s how a compliance

relationship turns into a real advisory partnership.

The firms that survive this shortage will keep the clients who make the work easier — be one of them.
