The Scalability Problem Most CPA Firms Face

6

CPA firms operate in a capacity-driven business model. The more clients they take on, the more staff they need to deliver work. But hiring locally creates three main problems:

  1. Seasonality: Workloads spike during tax season but dip afterward. Hiring full-time staff to handle peak loads means carrying excess overhead the rest of the year.
  2. Labor Shortage: Skilled accounting professionals are increasingly difficult (and expensive) to find domestically. Many firms compete for the same small talent pool.
  3. Rising Costs: Salaries, benefits, training, and retention all eat into profit margins. For smaller and mid-sized firms, this can limit growth opportunities.
 

At the same time, clients are demanding faster turnaround, broader services, and more strategic advice. This creates a paradox: firms need to scale capacity and improve service without increasing overhead costs unsustainably.

Global talent solutions directly address these pain points by creating a variable workforce model. Instead of fixed payroll expenses, firms can scale their teams up or down based on workload. Instead of struggling to recruit domestically, they can tap into global pools of trained professionals who specialize in accounting tasks.
