PRESENTING THE 2022
A
ACCOUNTING POWER LIST
ccountants long ago shed the stereotypes of “bean counters” and “numbers crunchers.” Probably the green visor, too. Today’s professionals are up to speed on the latest technology and innovations that continue to shape the industry. Cloud-based accounting. Artificial intelligence. Block chain. Accounting has evolved rapidly, much of which was brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic and a virtual work environment. The executives on the following pages that make up our 2022 Accounting Power List know this all too well. It’s adapt or be left behind. As you can tell from their profiles, they’re thriving. I want to note that the Accounting Power List is purely subjective, and not in any way scientific. SCBIZ Magazine staff (mainly myself) researched our list of South Carolina’s largest accounting firms, and searched the web, to find the best candidates. I feel like this is a well-rounded list. You might notice that some profiles are shorter than others. Due to space constraints, we had to make some trims. Profiles in their entirety will appear on the online version on SC Biz News’ website. We’ll be doing plenty more Power Lists in various industries in future editions of SCBIZ Magazine. Feel free to contact me if you know someone doing big things in their profession, and in their community. As always, thanks for reading. Jason Thomas is executive editor of SC Biz News.
