Audit and accounting firms need highly skilled consultants to maintain profit margins and market competitiveness. Amidst growing resourcing challenges such as skill shortages, high employee burnout, early retirement, and sub-optimal utilization, these organizations need workforce planning to meet future skill requirements and stay ahead of the curve.
An efficient workforce plan helps audit and accounting firms to align resource needs with strategic and operational business objectives. Further, it helps them avoid last-minute firefighting, reduce resourcing costs, and maintain a balanced mix of permanent and contingent professionals.
