Amidst the challenges posed by the pandemic, the crucial task of promoting diversity and inclusion (D&I) has taken a backseat in many organizations. However, this should not be the case, as diversity within the accounting industry brings immense benefits. As per McKinsey’s findings, businesses ranking in the top quartile for diversity have a 35% higher chance of outperforming those with lower diversity. Additionally, drawing in diverse talent can enhance a firm’s profitability and market competitiveness.
The significance of diversity and inclusion extends beyond the internal teams of larger CPA or accounting firms; even smaller firms with offshore teams can reap substantial rewards by embracing these values.
In context to this, Finsmart Accounting – trusted globally for accounting outsourcing services – decided to share some valuable insights on how accounting firms can maximize growth by having a diverse team.
9 Benefits of a Diverse Team
- Gender perspective
