In the first Thought Video in the series, Jason Croston, Chairperson of Walker Wayland Australasia Limited explores Walker Wayland’s strategy to reignite the profession’s appeal through innovative pathways.

The accounting profession is experiencing a critical transformation. Traditional career perceptions are crumbling, and talent attraction has become our greatest challenge.

Here’s what we’re discovering:

โ†’ Accounting subjects are vanishing from high school curriculum
โ†’ Young professionals seek dynamic, purpose-driven careers
โ†’ Standard recruitment methods are becoming obsolete

Our innovative approach is reshaping the narrative:

โ€ข Developing creative training programs that go beyond spreadsheets
โ€ข Connecting directly with local schools and communities
โ€ข Showcasing accounting as a career of genuine impact and transformation

The most powerful stories aren’t about numbersโ€”they’re about people.

At Walker Wayland, we’re not just recruiting talent; we’re nurturing professionals who can fundamentally reshape business landscapes.

We believe every young professional deserves a career that’s meaningful, challenging, and transformative.

P.S. We’re always seeking passionate individuals ready to make a real difference.
