Quotes
“It’s not really just about the conversations, it's about how we become in demand accountants going forward.”
“It’s our mission here at BlueprintHQ that accountants are always in demand, whether that be as businesses directly to clients, and that we're in demand not just for our tax services, but central advisors too… Also that our businesses are employer of choice, so that we're in demand from the great graduates and other styles of people that might be coming into our businesses. And if you’re an accountant looking to develop, that you’re in demand as an employee of choice also.”
“What does it mean to be an in demand accountant? We've honed it down to seven characteristics. Some of these are aspirational, so it certainly doesn't mean that you're at this level now. As with any kind of skills or characteristics that you're looking for, these are something that we would build for.”
“These things aren't personality traits, they're all things that are very teachable and should constantly be worked with over time. They all take practice. And it's the practice in what you do every day that will develop these to go forward and be an in demand accountant.”
