Automation & AI in Accounting
Process Improvement Manager, April Feray discusses how AI and automation are enhancing efficiency in accounting by streamlining repetitive tasks, improving data accuracy, and allowing professionals to focus on strategic decision-making and business growth.
For years, accounting has relied on manual processes and paperwork. But with advancements in AI and automation, businesses can now streamline repetitive tasks, allowing professionals to focus on higher-value work like data analysis and strategic decision-making.
By reducing time spent on manual data entry, accounting professionals can shift their attention to insights that drive business growth. This helps companies improve efficiency, make informed financial decisions, and optimize resources more effectively.
