CEO Shelly Weir discovered that her notions of what CPAs were like differed from who they actually are when she came to the Florida Institute of CPAs. Putting aside the “number crunchers” concept, she has leaned into their strategic and critical thinking skills and their people-person approach to help revamp educational efforts to the next generation of accounting professionals. With Florida growing so quickly, the need for quality and specialized CPAs is growing, too, and she details on Paychex THRIVE, a Business Podcast, what FICPA is doing to address this. Weir also shares her take on AI and how it can reshape the accounting profession.
