As someone deeply affected by the outsourcing of accounting jobs to India, I am compelled to raise this issue. Large American organizations are increasingly sending these positions overseas in a bid to maximize profits. This trend is not only detrimental to the livelihoods of American accountants but also undermines the quality of our financial systems.

According to a research done by The Hackett Group, an estimated 2.3 million jobs in finance were offshored globally between 2016 and 2021 (The Hackett Group, 2021). This mass exodus of roles from our shores has left many skilled professionals unemployed or underpaid. Furthermore, it has been observed that when accounting tasks are outsourced, there can be significant differences in standards and practices which may lead to errors or inconsistencies.

We need your support now more than ever. By signing this petition, you're advocating for preserving these critical roles within our borders and pushing for fair pay for accountants who contribute significantly towards maintaining fiscal responsibility within organizations.

Please sign this petition today - let's stand together for American jobs and fair wages!
