Featured Research
Why do accountants leave public accounting — and does how they leave shape their future relationship with the firm? My recent study published in Contemporary Accounting Research explores this question by surveying both alumni who have left public accounting and experienced professionals who have stayed. The results reveal that turnover is rarely sudden, that genuine work-life balance and strong mentoring relationships are the most powerful retention tools, and that a respectful exit process turns former employees into future advocates for the firm. Read on to learn about the study's key takeaways and implications for professionals and firm leaders.
