Are firms using AI to solve this? What, what strategies are accounting teams leaning on?

Well, basically it seems to be mainly through upskilling that people are trying to get around the issue, so making the most of the accountants that they already have.

I was ex- um, as I mentioned at the beginning, this was quite surprising, is that it's more than double the amount of people who are doing, um, automation to try and get around this.

So 21% use AI to fill staffing gaps compared to 40% who are doing the upskilling, uh, process basically.

And then you've got conventional methods of hiring, such as hiring through job boards, which is a third, and there's even more, uh, who are actually using graduate intern programs to try and fill the gaps in their staffing.

So I think that some good news for entry level for a start, but it's...

One thing that I would take as a little bit of a, as a little bit of a caution with that is it is similar.

What would be your advice to me? Where should I bet my, bet my money? Where would I, where should I put AI in place to get the maximum benefit?
