Balancing the Future Ep. 1 - Rethinking the CPA Pipeline with Kimberly Ellison Taylor

Is eliminating the 150 hours requirement the key to building the professional pipeline? Host Chris Mitchell sits down with Kimberly Ellison Taylor, founder and CEO of KET Solutions, LLC to discuss how to build a stronger future for the accounting profession, and how getting rid of the 150-hour requirement may not be the best solution to increasing the amount of CPAs. Instead, the solution may lie in reshaping current CPAs' attitude toward the profession and how to act as ambassadors to a new generation of prospective accountants and strengthening DEI initiatives to connect with a wider audience. Kimberly also outlines her five E's for success that will benefit both prospective and experienced CPAs. Earn CPE by listening to this podcast through a Becker Prime CPE subscription.
