From www.accountantsdaily.com.au: The ongoing accountant shortage in Australia has significantly increased job seekers’ bargaining power, allowing them to secure better working conditions and roles that fit their lifestyles.
Firms are now offering more flexibility, including remote work options and accommodating part-time schedules to attract talent.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics forecasts the need for nearly 10,000 additional accountants per year through 2026, while the number of accounting graduates has notably decreased.
