Accounting hasn’t changed for hundreds of years, but the role of accountants has. Instead of being replaced by technology, accountants are more valuable than ever.
Knowing how accountants can fully contribute their skills in today’s modern work environment not only unleashes their potential but also increases their value to your organization. Let’s look at how technology and data have changed and revitalized the accountant’s role.
WHAT DO ACCOUNTANTS DO TODAY?
What Does an Accountant Do Today?
Today, the accountant is the curator of your financial data. This role is growing to be more tech-savvy in how they gather and analyze data to help you lead and grow your business. Cloud-based accounting technology is the key component of this shift. The three innovations heavily influencing cloud accounting today are: the Cloud, APIs, and automation.
The Cloud
Instead of downloading and managing accounting solutions internally, remote servers run by the software provider let you use the solution whenever, wherever you want. This means that accountants can now be totally remote-based just as easily as onsite. Cloud accounting has made it possible for financial professionals to have real-time data to analyze and help you make the best decisions possible for your business at all times.
APIs
Without application programming interface (API), integration and IT flexibility would be impossible. This is what allows different software to communicate and share data between solutions. Because of this, APIs are a critical component of cloud architecture and cloud accounting. One of the leading benefits of cloud-based technology is that you can link your other business applications on the Cloud to the accounting system. Nobody wants to spend hours and money manually entering accounting details and then re-checking them. To prevent this and secure streamlined accounting, resilient API is a must.
Automation
Click a button and a task, or several tasks at once, are completed immediately. Automation is making accounting faster, more reliable, and less dependent on manual data entry than ever before. For accounting, this means less tedious bookkeeping and more data analysis by accountants to help you grow.
As manual entries and accounting processes get faster and less-demanding, accountants are freed to serve more as guides or consultants rather than just crunching numbers. Therefore, the accountant’s value has increased. With their shrewd financial insight, businesses gain clearer, faster information needed to achieve the greatest return-on-investment for your business. Accountants are not at the mercy of modern technology, but rather have greater tools to take their role to the peak of its ability.
Accountants Today Rely On Data-Informed Accounting
Data is decisive, now more than ever, in such a fast-paced IT environment. In addition to overseeing transactions and consolidations, monitoring accounting data is important for maintaining your company’s financial health. Accountants are shifting to be more data-driven than before.
Transactions handling and general ledger accounting remain important functions. But now, greater focus is on more strategic tasks like cash flow reporting and project accounting. Everything in business has a financial dimension. Harnessing the latest technology, accountants can more clearly understand these dimensions to inform more accurate ways to consolidate revenue and manage expenses. They can more easily pinpoint what’s working for your company to increase revenue opportunities. Data doesn’t lie!
Accountant-Centric Accounting Software
When you look into accounting solutions, really consider how it will let your accountants collect, visualize, and analyze financial data. Your system should help them do their job without skipping a beat. Here are a few key considerations when looking for the best accounting system for accountants to utilize.
Does the system provide an audit trail function to track specific information?
Is the accounting platform easy to use and adaptable to business needs?
How efficient are accounting processes?
What’s the level of automation?
How flexible and robust are the reporting features?

الروبوتات ليسوا محاسبين!
كُتب الكثير في العام الماضي عن أتمتة العمليات الروبوتية (RPA)، ولسبب وجيه. من خلال تسهيل التكامل الأوسع للأنظمة المالية المتباينة وتطبيقات البرامج، يُعد RPA مزيد من الكفاءة لمؤسسات التمويل والمحاسبة. ولكن هل الروبوتات بديل للمحاسبين كما أثبتت بعض المقالات؟

Much has been written in the last year about robotic process automation (RPA), and for good reason. By facilitating broader integration of disparate financial systems and software applications, RPA promises more efficiency to finance and accounting organizations. But are robots a substitute for accountants, as some articles have attested? Not by a long shot.
RPA captures, manipulates and interprets transactional data flowing from myriad IT systems and applications, effectively taking these repetitive tasks from accountants. That’s a good thing, as it frees up the accounting staff to become strategic accountants. The “robots” liberate accountants to do what they have longed to do — make sense of the financial data to improve business decisions.
RPA is just the latest iteration in a long progression of F&A software tools designed to improve efficiency and data accuracy, including our own here at BlackLine. RPA extends the automated functionality of ERP systems beyond the range of application programming interfaces (commonly known as APIs) and simple object access protocol, which are used to integrate the ERP system with other IT applications. Instead of the customary weeks it takes to link these systems, RPA pares the time down to a matter of days.
Trends and Technologies Shaping the Future of Tax and Accounting
WOLTERS KLUWER
There are some studies, such as that by the Hackett Group, that suggest that automated tools may lead to a reduction in headcount. But robo-accountants are not actual accountants. Despite the enormous power and promise of digital solutions, there will always be a need for the human connection. Robots may replicate what people do, but they are unemotional, have no intuition and cannot be motivated in a common cause. They’re simply machines making routine work easier and more efficient.
Turning dislocation into transformation
Today’s accountants should not fear automation; rather, they should embrace these tools to become strategic accountants. When machines replace traditional forms of work, they simultaneously open the door to other options. People are liberated to be more creative, engaged and productive. Let the robots handle rote administrative processing. Accountants’ skills are far too nuanced to squander on such tasks.
A case in point is the competitive advantage of extracting deeper meaning from internal and exogenous financial data. The internet is inundated with millions of data sets that may have import in business decisions. Software can narrow the field, but someone has to interpret the data to determine where best to grow the business or pull back.
Accountants can perform this function, filtering and analyzing internal and exogenous business-related data to assist the CFO in making more informed and agile decisions. Armed with the accountants’ analyses, the CFO can make more astute bets on where to invest the company’s capital and where to restrict it.
The office of finance has always been the nexus of financial and other business-related data. In today’s blisteringly fast 24/7 global business environment, where change can happen overnight, this information is a vital currency that can improve market share, reduce strategic risks and widen margins. The problem is that CFOs have relied on purely historical business data in making resource allocation and other financial decisions. Accountants are an untapped resource to help make rapid sense of today’s numbers to ensure the company remains on course to achieve its strategic objectives. If this is not the case, the CFO has an enhanced opportunity to nimbly change direction to seize more profitable business opportunities elsewhere.
Do CFOs require such assistance? You bet they do. In a 2016 survey of 122 CFOs at large companies by Deloitte, the respondents stated that they spend more than one quarter (27 percent) of their time on company strategy. An equal amount of time is devoted to operations, identifying ways to improve organizational efficiency, balance costs and manage issues related to talent. Less than one quarter of the CFOs’ time is focused on traditional finance functions, such as accounting and financial reporting and control requirements.

Every profession has its unique challenges. The accounting industry is no different. Let’s look at the top 7 issues accountants face today and how to overcome them.
CHALLENGES ACCOUNTANTS FACE
Are Accountants Still Relevant?
Yes, accountants are still relevant, but the profession is definitely changing. Precipitated by the increased use of cloud accounting technology, accounts are becoming even more technical. Today, the modern accountant is chiefly an advisor, which is the greatest value of this position. Because technology is making things like data entry, bank reconciliations, and billing way more streamlined, this means less focus on entering numbers.
Instead, automated accounting tools give accountants more to analyze and report these numbers. Accountants are actually going to be in higher demand for their value in helping companies make stronger, effective business decisions. Many accountants find success in three main career directions, which you can learn about in our recent webinar, but there are still challenges and issues accountants face. Staying relevant and powerful as an accountant requires adaptability.
Top Issues Facing the Accounting Industry in 2022
The biggest issues accountants face will range individually of course, but much of it will involve technology and growing competition.
Follow along for 7 of the biggest threats and issues to the accounting profession, as well as some insights on how you and your accounting department can best overcome these challenges.
1. Lack Of IT Literacy in the Accounting Field
If you’ve been following accounting current events, the role of an accountant has steadily grown more technical. So much so that failure to adapt to cloud technology could pose a serious threat to an accountant’s job security. Now more than ever, cloud-based accounting systems are being used both in the office and remotely. Finances are going fully digital. One of the biggest challenges accountants face is being able to use cloud accounting software and operate efficiently in a cloud environment. The importance of storing and analyzing financial data from multiple business applications is also playing an increased role. Defining which business tools need to communicate to the accounting solution and what data needs to be monitored is critical for a complete financial picture of the business.
For more details on why IT implementations in accounting departments go poorly so regularly, read on in the Why Accounting IT Implementations Fail guide.
2. Accounting Automation
Related to technology, automation is going to be a challenge for accountants, but not in a way that will eliminate their profession. Automation and even AI will not replace but actually enhance the accountant’s role if they can successfully deploy and use these tools. One of the big challenges for financial experts is being able to harness more automated functions to enhance the value of accounting processes.
To learn more about how to leverage accounting software to automate, read on in our Top 13 Benefits of Automated Accounting and What is Accounting Automation Post-COVID-19 guides.
3. Changing Client Relations For CPAs And Accounting Firms
Competition is always a challenge for financial experts, whether they’re solo Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) or accounting firms. With companies’ resources stretched following the business setbacks of COVID-19, they need accurate accounting insight and a smooth experience.
Developing customer loyalty based on positive client experience is critical. Not only will this help accountants provide better, more effective service, it also strengthens the customer bonds. To overcome this, accountants will need accounting features that improve customer experience.
4. The Accounting Profession Has New Skill Requirements
In addition to new technology requirements and pure accounting knowledge, accountants are facing a much more interconnected world. This means wearing multiple hats to understand how the financial picture is drawn. Specifically, this means becoming more adept in understanding business requirements, processes, and even customer behavior. Today the accountant is less about bookkeeping and more about data analytics.
In an uncertain economy, businesses need accurate, informed financial insight to save money and make the best decisions possible. Financial forecasting, financial analysis, and cash flow projection proficiency are critical skills to have now. The more proficient accountants are in these skills, the more valuable they become. Additionally, being able to create dynamic financial and business reports that answer exactly what the company needs to achieve key objectives are important.
Learn more about how Financial Dashboards can help.
5. Tax Laws are Ever Changing
A constant challenge for accountants is keeping up with tax regulations. All levels of accountants and CPAs should be mindful of changes and be able to use accounting technology and tax management systems to handle taxes online. Digital tax requirements like the UK’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) are growing across the world. Therefore, it’s important for accountants to be familiar with the tech and strategies involved.
With tax accounting software, the software is built to be compliant, meaning you won’t need to spend time considering government regulations. You’ll also save time on calculating sales tax, as it is automatically as transactions are completed.
6. Rising Competition In The Accounting Field
Competition poses a threat to those in the accounting profession. Accounting departments in companies seem to be shrinking in favor of external accounting services. Many accounting agencies also concentrate on specialized accounting skills like financial analytics and nonprofit accounting.
To keep up with your competitors, consider using accounting software to automate workflows related to previously tedious tasks like billing customers and paying vendors. Freeing up time will allow you to focus on keeping your current clients happy, and growing your client list.
7. Keeping Financial Data Secure
Internal and external accounting system threats like ransomware attacks are very prominent and will only pose a more serious threat in the future. Significant hacking and fraud incidents have been steadily increasing, with spikes since the workforce went remote during the COVID-19 lockdowns. For accountants, the challenge is implementing processes and tools to protect data. Remember, accounting errors and data theft have caused many businesses to actually fail. However, while these digital challenges remain, the advantage for accountants is in knowing the features and internal controls needed to protect financial data.

Get Ahead With The Right Accounting Platform
Whether you’re an individual accountant or accounting firm, you will thrive or struggle based on your accounting system. When you search for a solution, really consider how it will let you collect, visualize, and analyze financial data. Your system should help them do your job without skipping a beat and be flexible in a way to help your function and draw financial insight however you need. Here are a few key considerations when looking for the best accounting system for accountants to utilize.
Does the system provide an audit trail function to track specific information?
Is the accounting platform easy to use and adaptable to business needs?
How efficient are accounting processes?
What’s the level of automation?
How flexible and robust are the reporting features?
Are there security features that fully protect the data?

Will Your Next Accountant Be A Robot?

Science and technology are rapidly advancing with the use of robots. In fact, some employees are worried about the human element disappearing completely from key business roles. In the financial world, accounting software is poised to become even faster and less labor demanding in the next several years.
One thing remains certain, as accounting technology evolves, so will the role of the accounting team. However, there remains a need for actual accountants to make sense of finances, even in the midst of innovation.

The Tools of Change
Instead of thinking that technology will eliminate or reduce human involvement, look at it as a resource that expands the scope of the financial expert. Accounting practices haven’t dramatically changed in the last few years, but technology has revolutionized how efficiently accounting processes can be done. For an accounting team, remaining valuable means embracing the tools of the future including automation, the cloud, and artificial intelligence.
Automation allows software to streamline key accounting processes such as billing and payments because human interface is heavily reduced, eliminating the need to re-enter data to produce repeatable tasks. This minimizes the workload, increases data integrity, and makes tasks related to bookkeeping easier. Due to this advantage, automation will continue to increase. In a report by Accenture, it’s estimated that by 2020, 40 percent of transaction accounting will be automated. However, recording transactions is only one aspect of the accounting team’s role. Another crucial role of the accounting team is that of advisors, using the information gained from financial transactions to provide insight which can improve business strategy.
As automation progresses, the repetitive aspects of journal entries become faster and less reliant on human action, but this means that financial experts can work faster too. Accounting teams will spend less effort putting in the numbers and more time analyzing them.
The Cloud
The Cloud is already a leading innovation as more and more companies rely heavily on cloud-based applications and services. In the same report compiled by Accenture, up to 85 percent of CFOs are planning future investments in the cloud. Cloud-based platforms and applications will continue to surge in popularity, overtaking older legacy systems because of their flexibility, speed, and accessibility, as well as their ability to be quickly upgraded. We will see core functions like analytics and reporting shift even further towards cloud computing programs, which includes accounting. This is happening now and will continue to accelerate, giving accounting teams more tools and opportunities to work with.
The cloud lets financial data be accessed by staff anywhere, collected from other cloud-based software, and stored in a single solution, like Accounting Seed. This gives businesses more control over their financial management while expediting the process as a whole. Finances can be updated and managed all online and in near real-time through automation too. The cloud will be a major vehicle in helping accounting teams get results closer and closer to actual real-time which will become a major demand for business leaders. As more businesses use the cloud, and automation continues to improve, accounting teams can optimize their workflow and provide better insight because the key information will be more readily available.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to show it’s prominence in the next generation of business software. In the accounting world, we’ll likely to see this increase through such technology as Robotics Processing Automation (RPA). RPA is software that combines machine learning capabilities and AI to automate rule-based processes. This can range from processing transactions to generating automatic responses. The ability for a program to self-learn improvement opportunities or prevent mistakes is desirable in accounting as it reduces the amount of time spent on basic processes of transaction recordings and distributions. This doesn’t render accountants useless. Rather, AI helps financial experts do their job more efficiently because no time is wasted. AI makes the job faster, it doesn’t destroy it.
You’ll Still Need Accountants
Ultimately, accounting software is a tool. You still need to know how to use it, and even then, it requires detailed analysis to make use of the data. As technology develops, the technical aspects of accounting become easier and faster, but this simply means the accounting team can serve more a group of guides or consultants (which is ultimately what you really want).
Total reliance on AI or other technology, in general, is not the solution for progress. Removing the insights of human accountants is unwise. Even with the raw processing power of an automated, cloud-based system, good direction from the human is still necessary. Software can’t yet define strategies for cutting costs or provide insight into how to conserve more revenue to reach business goals. It’s up to the accounting team, harnessing the technology, to be the brains behind the machine.
The Evolution of Accounting
With the accounting team’s role evolving more towards analysis and strategy, accountants will need to collaborate more closely with different professionals such as software specialists. In addition to financial analysis and advising, accounting work may grow to report on the effectiveness of tools and individuals in gathering financial data or for quality control. The accounting business will change, but this has the potential of expanding the role of accountants. For the accountant team, mastering the latest technology trends and embracing innovation will empower their career to new heights and ensure their continued relevance.

Achieving sustainability requires technology and innovation to transition and could be disruptive. An integrated mindset is key.
At its October 2021 virtual meeting, IFAC’s Professional Accountants in Business Advisory Group considered how accountants are contributing to value creation and sustainability in their organizations in both the private and public sectors. The report, The Role of Accountants in Mainstreaming Sustainability in Business, summarizes the key insights and learnings from the discussions amongst this global group of business and finance leaders, drawing from their diverse experiences and expertise.
Having an integrated approach to financial and sustainability-related information under the remit of the CFO was a key topic of discussion. This leads to better decisions that deliver long-term value to stakeholders and society, while also ensuring financial returns to investors. The group also explored ways the potential opportunities offered by digital assets, including to improve efficiencies, increase transparency, and spur innovation towards societal goals, could gain legitimacy.
“The need for CFOs and finance functions to contribute strategically as value partners is increasing to advance sustainability,” said Sanjay Rughani, PAIB Advisory Group Chair. “By sharing our learnings as a profession, we can continue to elevate our focus and actions on higher value activities to support and empower more professional accountants to take on increasingly strategic roles.” - البلد الأردن
