The accounting industry is on the brink of change thanks to technological advancements that will reshape the way we work. As the demand for accurate, timely financial information continues to grow, accounting professionals need to keep up with the latest trends.

The work of a CPA involves a lot more than preparing tax returns and providing financial advice—engaging with clients can be its own full-time job!

Today’s accountants are expected to do much more than just bookkeeping and number crunching. They must provide strategic insights, analyze financial data, and make informed decisions for their organizations and their clients.

It’s a hard truth of modern accounting that practices are only as efficient as their workflows allow. Smart workflows can be a game-changer.

Spreadsheets. For accountants, they’re a fact of life. From the one-person practices to teams of decision makers in large multinational businesses, spreadsheets are central to all manner of projects and tasks.
