Accounting trends series (episode 4): Age matters

 

The average age of accounting practitioners is well over 50. Understanding how this looming swell in retirement will affect your business, staff and clients is a must. Are soon-to-retire accountants holding your firm back, or will you suffer without them? How do you plan for succession? And how can you turn the presence of ageing partners into an opportunity?

This video looks into the fourth of the five accounting trends identified in the 2016 Accounting Trends Report by Karbon.

Wayne is joined by an expert panel including Greg Tuckwell of Poole Group, Sam Rotberg of AS Partners,  Noel Tiufino of My Accounts and Nicholas Pateras  of Wilson Pateras, who outline why age is such a big issue right now, and what steps you need to take to handle any eventual changes in your firm.
