Are Accountants Being Replaced?

Technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) are becoming increasingly common in our daily lives and many occupations are changing as a result.

In accounting, we believe automated systems are improving our job, but not replacing it entirely.

AI can take over the repetitive and time-consuming tasks like data entry, but it cannot complete the higher-level accounting tasks like analysis and interpretation of the data. Accountants have advanced knowledge, experience, and instincts to give business advice and customized tax planning.

At Heartland, we’re continually seeking opportunities to learn and grow with the technology instead of fighting against it. By adapting and incorporating new technology, we add even more value to our clients and help them make better business decisions.
