Automation, Digital Working And Your Practice

With tax season in full swing, it could be a good time to look at the benefits of automation – and what it could mean for you and your practice. Digital technology, from the smartphone in your hand to the robots on the production floor - and the automated systems that support management – are changing every aspect of business these days. Your clients are probably embracing digital technology,and looking at the next generation, which may include Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cognitive Processing and Advanced Analytics. They expect you, as their accountants, to be doing the same. But are you and your practice lagging behind and still using procedures that would have been recognisable to an accountant from a century ago, rather than cutting edge solutions for 2020?
