In today's fast-changing business world, being a great accountant isn't just about technical expertise. CPAs are increasingly expected to lead, inspire, and make strategic decisions—and mastering soft skills is key to thriving in these roles. The Solution?

According to a report by the Society for Human Resource Management, 97% of employers value soft skills as much, if not more, than technical expertise. CPA Canada and other organizations now offer training to help accountants strengthen these crucial competencies and become well-rounded leaders. Take your career to the next level by embracing both technical and soft skills. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gZrxSVcN
