“The accounting profession is changing at a rapid pace, and those firms that aren’t moving with the times are likely to be left behind,” said Carrie Steffen, president of The Whetstone Group and current president of the CPACA, in a statement. “Our group believes there are trends in the industry that cannot be ignored,” said Steffen. “These include diversity and inclusion, the move from compliance to consulting, the need for more flexible work environments and a move toward value billing. As consultants to the accounting profession, the members of the CPACA are helping our clients embrace these advances and provide as much value to the people and businesses they work with as possible.”
