The shortage of accounting professionals became visible on Wall Street recently when Lyft Inc., Planet Fitness Inc., Mister Car Wash Inc. and Rivian Automotive Inc. had to correct typos in their quarterly earnings statements. Mistakes happen, but the increasing demands on accounting staff are cited as a significant cause of the recent increase in errors. Talent Shortage Increases Burnout Risk This staffing shortage, driven by the retirement of seasoned practitioners and the industry’s challenges in attracting the next generation, has increased workloads and extended hours for existing staff.
