23 Influencers to Follow on LinkedIn (for accountants)

LinkedIn was founded in 2002 and now has over 875 million users that come from more than 200 different countries. For professionals such as accountants, it’s an important place to be and to be seen. Here is a great round-up of influencers to follow on LinkedIn if you’re an accountant.

The list provides a good mix – whether you have your own accounting firm, are just starting out in the industry or are an employee of an accounting firm. Being based in Australia, I’ve included some influential Australians in the accounting and business world as well that are worth following – even if you’re based in other parts of the world.
