“Certified Public Accountants (CPA) are highly valued throughout the world, and this was the notion before 2020. Add in the COVID-19 pandemic, which has wreaked havoc in many ways, including disrupting businesses and the economy – and we have chaos in many aspects of our lives. Tracey Golden, CPA, CGMA, said it best in a recent article, “In an uncertain world, CPAs are needed now more than ever as trusted advisors who can lead a path forward.”

Did you know that CPAs from the beginning of the pandemic were listed as essential workers? They have been working with business leaders and battling the uncertainty of what’s to come while trying to keep their clients afloat”

IMO cpas are only as essential as any other worker. The pandemic left a salty taste in my mouth as some people were not considered “essential”, as if their right to make a living and provide for their families is strictly conditional based on someone else’s interpretation of the word “essential”.
