Eide Bailly is pleased to announce that it joined the growing coalition committed to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within accounting through Accounting+, a nationwide campaign to attract a new generation of diverse students into the talent pipeline.

Led by the Center for Audit Quality (CAQ), a nonpartisan public policy organization serving as the voice of U.S. public company auditors, Accounting+ is a first-of-its kind, profession-backed, campaign to actively engage high school and college students with dynamic, tailored resources on the benefits of a career in accounting, including paths to entrepreneurship and to helping build vibrant local communities. The campaign dispels misperceptions about accounting – namely that it is not interesting or a profession that can help them reach their goals. The Accounting+ campaign is based on research that found substantial openness to accounting as a profession.

By joining Accounting+, Eide Bailly commits to be a part of the collective effort to improve diversity in accounting by playing an important role in upskilling communities and working to create a more diverse talent pipeline. To learn more, visit www.joinaccountingplus.com.

“We are focused on addressing the diversity gap that exists within accounting. With Accounting+, our goal is to reach the next generation of accounting professionals and ensure that students can see themselves within this exciting, high-demand field.”

- Liz Barentzen, Vice President Talent Initiatives | CAQ
“We are proud to join Accounting+ as an official partner in an effort to provide diverse groups of students the knowledge and skills they need to pursue accounting careers. As a profession, we are focused on collectively increasing diversity in the talent pipeline and the pipeline overall. We all play an important role in creating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace for the next generation of accounting leaders.”

- Jeremy Hauk, Managing Partner and CEO | Eide Bailly
