Description

The accounting profession is in a state of flux. With a shocking number leaving the industry and fewer students opting to major in Accounting, it's clear that change is needed — and fast. Hosted by FloQast co-founder and CEO Mike Whitmire, inactive CPA, Blood, Sweat & Balance Sheets explores the modern accounting landscape to identify how to uplift the profession, ways in which leaders can evolve operations to empower employees, and highlights individuals making material impacts in finance and accounting.
