From www.accountingtoday.com: (US context) CPA firms are increasingly adopting the “staff on demand” model to address staffing challenges and deliver high-value advisory services, leveraging external resources and freelance talent to meet fluctuating business demands.

This approach allows firms to efficiently manage seasonal peaks, fill skill gaps, and reduce overhead costs associated with full-time hires while fostering innovation through diverse insights and mentorship.

Implementing staff on demand entails redefining talent needs, building a talent network, integrating technology, and establishing a collaborative culture focused on knowledge retention and compliance.
