In his conversation with host Jean Caragher, Koziel outlines how external pressures, including hybrid workforces, private equity investment, and shifting talent expectations, are reshaping CPA firms. He argues that while the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated these changes, the profession was already moving in this direction.
"Firms were always capable of hiring talent beyond their geographic boundaries, but it took a pandemic for them to act on it," Koziel says. "We now have a hybrid profession that is adjusting to these realities."
