From the Center for Accounting Transformation
In this episode of the Accounting ARC podcast, Donny Shimamoto, Byron Patrick, and Liz Mason explore the growing impact of caregiving on the accounting profession, spotlighting the newest research initiative being taken on by the Accounting MOVE Project for 2026.
Focusing on the “sandwich generation,” the conversation (and the survey) highlights how evolving workforce realities are challenging traditional expectations around productivity, flexibility, and career paths—and why firms that adapt will be better positioned to retain talent and build a more sustainable future.
