Private equity continues to reshape the accounting profession, but where does the market stand today—and where is it headed next? In this opening fireside chat, Accounting Today and Intapp will share new data on firm sentiment, capital needs, technology investment, and the evolving role of private equity in accounting.
Last year's research revealed a profession at a crossroads: Nearly half of firms reported being approached by private equity investors, yet fewer than 20% had accepted investment. At the same time, firms remained sharply divided on the issue, with roughly one-third open to private equity, one-third opposed, and the remainder undecided. The research also highlighted growing demand for capital—particularly to fund technology, AI, acquisitions, and succession planning—as a key driver of PE interest.
Join us for an exclusive first look at the latest findings and what they reveal about the future of firm ownership, investment, and growth.
