Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant threat to the accounting profession, it’s already here, reshaping how firms operate and how clients expect results. From reconciliations completed in minutes to real-time cash flow forecasts, AI is raising the bar for efficiency. For accountants, this shift is both opportunity and risk. Smaller firms can now access affordable, cloud-based tools once reserved for the Big Four. But without oversight, AI can also expose practices to compliance breaches and reputational damage. The challenge is clear: how do you harness AI responsibly while protecting the trust at the heart of your profession?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making a big splash, introducing new tools that help make accountants' jobs easier and more efficient. From helping with tax returns using tools like Tax on Demand and Tax Terrapin to making office work smoother with Pixie and Karbon, these AI innovations are transforming the way accountants do their work.
