Participation

Accounting Firms

Firms have the power to shape perceptions and create opportunities for emerging talent. Here’s how to participate and promote the campaign:

✅ Sponsor and host engaging campus events – support university outreach through open days, interactive workshops, or behind-the-scenes Q&A sessions where students meet accountants, ask questions, and experience the career firsthand. Distribute the official campaign caps to participants.

✅ Elevate new voices – inspire young and early-career accountants to become campaign ambassadors. Their fresh perspectives are invaluable, providing authentic insights into modern accounting careers through videos, posts, or articles on LinkedIn and other social platforms. Encourage them to use #MakeAccountingGreatAgain and tag the campaign page to connect their stories to the wider movement.

✅ Engage your team – encourage colleagues and staff to actively participate in the campaign. Share content across office networks, organise team events, and promote a workplace culture that celebrates accounting as a rewarding and impactful profession.

✅ Share resources – contribute practical tools and templates to our website to support young professionals starting their accounting careers.

✅ Support the movement – have your team wear the official Make Accounting Great Again cap and help share the message. The caps can be purchased from our online store.
