The accounting profession is at a crossroads — not because of a new generation, but because the entire architecture of work is being rewritten. Smaller firms are feeling it most: recruiting has become harder, AI is changing client expectations overnight, and leadership succession looms large. In this fast-moving and practical session, global future-of-work strategist Steve Cadigan (LinkedIn’s first CHRO and author of Workquake) unpacks how small and mid-sized firms can reimagine how they attract, develop, and lead talent in a world where certainty is gone and adaptability is gold. Through real-world examples from progressive firms like Bookminders, Prestige Accounting, LedgerWise, Nova Accounting, and Insights CPAs, Steve shows how leaders are reshaping work models, leveraging AI as a time- creator, and making accounting a magnet for modern talent again.
