Lana Weldon and Doriena Parsons from Moore Australia jump onto AD Insider to discuss the current talent shortage in the accounting industry.

Sharing their passion, experience and love for the industry, the power duo touches on why the accounting industry is struggling to attract young talent, why they aren’t being retained, and what we can do to change it.

Like all industry members, Weldon and Parsons emphasise the point that accountants aren’t just “number crunchers” but creative minds that help our economy achieve anything and everything.

As a collective it is up to the accounting industry, its peak bodies and companies to portray the lifestyle, work, possibilities and opportunities available to young talent in the accounting profession.

Ex-accountant-turned-mindset coach and psychotherapist Danii Nastov shares the importance of overcoming overwhelm in the accounting industry.

Like any professional career, there is a certain expectation to be consistently “firing on all cylinders” when in reality, this is neither achievable nor sustainable.

Nastov provides insight into her career as an accountant, the overwhelm, stress, and burnout she constantly experienced and how she eventually managed to pull herself out of this cycle.

Nastov touches on where this “hustle culture” and expectation comes from, as well as how to recognise and deal with it while maintaining a strong and consistent work ethic.
