This isn’t a pitch for a new Terminator movie, this is the future of accounting. Software and tech companies are developing AIs that will disrupt every sector of employment, and accounting is near the very top of the list.

Why? AI is great at processing numbers and can calculate far faster than any human. Basically, everything an accountant or bookkeeper can do, AI can (and will) do it better, faster, cheaper.

This means a complete disruption in the field of accounting. The tech is already becoming an industry standard, and all the big software companies are collecting data to feed into their algorithms and models. AI will only get better at crunching numbers.

But there is one thing an AI can never replicate: you. The human connection is something only you can provide.

And more than data, or compliance or even accurate numbers, business owners want someone they trust to help them have a growing and successful business. They want the human connection. They want a trusted advisor who can talk them through problems, opportunities, and give insight and actionable advice for how to improve their business.

The good news is that if you become a CFO Advisor, you can use AI to help you tackle the compliance and transactional work so that you can spend more time doing the higher-value (and more impactful) work of being a human helping a fellow human have a better business.
