Accountants Need to Be Assertive When It Comes to Technology
This episode features an interview with Jotham Ty, a proud accountant and the CEO of Gappify.
In this episode, Jotham helps us understand how accountants can be the value center for businesses, how automation technology can help the field to eliminate mechanical tasks, and what the industry can do to support and nurture the new generation of accountants.
Key Takeaways:
- Automation opportunities help to reduce the mechanical workload accountants are currently bogged down with.
- AI cannot be strategic. Based on the nature of how accountants have to apply roles and understand business context, AI can support the data gathering process, but it cannot provide the human element that's needed to make all the moving pieces work.
- The accounting profession should not be limiting. There are a multitude of options for someone in the field looking for their next career move.
