How Accountants Can Support This Global Initiative
While Make Accounting Great Again is a global initiative, we are based in Australia. Accordingly, our collaboration with the international accounting community focuses on initiatives that can be delivered remotely and scaled across multiple countries.
As a grassroots campaign led by passionate accountants volunteering their time, our resources and capacity are limited. Collaboration with student associations, accounting firms, professional bodies, and corporate partners is therefore essential to extending our reach, developing student-focused resources, engaging students at a local level, and maximising the impact of our efforts to attract more young people into the profession globally.
Make Accounting Great Again provides a unique platform to make the accounting profession more appealing, accessible, and relevant to students from all backgrounds. By combining our growing platform and international reach with the local networks and knowledge of stakeholders in other countries, we can create a stronger movement to inspire the next generation of accountants.
You can contribute to the success of this initiative in many ways including:
✅ 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.
✅ Showcase your workplace on social media – share posts on LinkedIn and other platforms highlighting interesting projects, your team culture, innovative technologies, and the positive impact accountants have on businesses and communities every day. Tag the campaign page and use #MakeAccountingGreatAgain so we can amplify your content across our extensive networks.
✅ Offer workplace experiences – provide students with opportunities to participate in work experience, job shadowing, office visits, or virtual workplace tours to gain a firsthand understanding of the profession.
✅ Mentor students and graduates – provide guidance and career insights that show the many paths accounting can offer.
✅ Provide sponsorship or financial support – assist with the development of educational resources, promotional materials, events, and outreach activities that expand the campaign’s reach and impact.
✅ Engage with high school students – volunteer to share your career journey at local schools, highlighting the diverse opportunities in accounting and showing how the profession positively impacts businesses and communities.
✅ Leverage your professional network – encourage colleagues, clients, industry associations, and educational institutions to support and promote the campaign.
✅ Wear the cap and spread the message – encourage your team to wear the official Make Accounting Great Again cap and help raise awareness of the campaign. Caps are available for purchase worldwide through our online store.
