Lana Weldon and Doriena Parsons from Moore Australia jump onto AD Insider to discuss the current talent shortage in the accounting industry.

Sharing their passion, experience and love for the industry, the power duo touches on why the accounting industry is struggling to attract young talent, why they aren’t being retained, and what we can do to change it.

Like all industry members, Weldon and Parsons emphasise the point that accountants aren’t just “number crunchers” but creative minds that help our economy achieve anything and everything.

As a collective it is up to the accounting industry, its peak bodies and companies to portray the lifestyle, work, possibilities and opportunities available to young talent in the accounting profession.
