Will AI replace accountants? Accounting Manager's Opinion

Will AI replace accountants? In this video, I’m sharing my opinion as an accounting manager with over 10 years of experience working in Corporate Accounting. AI is changing the workplace, and a lot of college students, accounting majors, new accounting graduates, and entry-level accountants are understandably worried about AI in accounting and what this means for the future of work in accounting and accounting jobs. In this video, I break down whether I think AI will replace accounting, which accounting tasks are most likely to be impacted, is accounting still a good major and career choice, how companies are actually using AI right now in accounting, and what you can do to stay competitive as the accounting profession changes. I also share insights from conversations I had with CFOs, controllers, accounting directors, and other finance professionals about how they’re thinking about AI in accounting. If you’re studying accounting, trying to get your first accounting job, or wondering if accounting is still a good career in the age of AI, this video will help you think through the future of the profession in a realistic way.
