more accounting arc<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nthe episode’s hosts, liz mason, cpa; byron patrick, cpa.citp, cgma; and donny shimamoto, cpa.citp, cgma; delve into the implications of ai with a bold assertion: ai will indeed take over many accounting jobs, but this is a development that should be welcomed, not feared.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
according to mason, founder and ceo of high rock accounting, the tasks that ai is set to take over\u2014data entry, transaction coding, and other routine activities\u2014are the very tasks that have bogged down accountants for years.<\/p>\n
“ai is going to take our jobs? yes, absolutely, but it should,” mason states, kicking off the conversation. “because we shouldn\u2019t have been doing that in the first place. this is an opportunity for us to get back to the strategic and analytical work that truly defines our profession.”<\/p>\n
patrick, vice president of client success at the b3 method and a veteran in the field since y2k, \u00a0reflects on his own experience, noting how the introduction of technology has already transformed the profession.<\/p>\n
\u201cwhen i started, data entry wasn\u2019t even on my radar,\u201d he recalls. \u201cbut over the years, as technology advanced, accountants found themselves doing more and more of it. ai is our chance to reverse that trend and get back to what really matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
shimamoto, founder and managing director of intraprisetechknowlogies llc and founder and inspiration architect of the center for accounting transformation, adds that while ai can handle data entry, it still needs human oversight\u2014what he calls the \u201cai overseer\u201d role. this new role, he explains, will involve accountants supervising ai outputs to ensure accuracy and reliability.<\/p>\n
\u201cthink of ai as a first-year staff member,\u201d shimamoto explains. \u201cit\u2019s learning, and it needs oversight. accountants will be the ones to provide that oversight, ensuring that ai\u2019s outputs meet the necessary standards.\u201d<\/p>\n
the trio also discusses the importance of paraprofessionals\u2014those in accounting roles who may not have a cpa but still contribute significantly to the profession. \u201cai is going to redefine these roles,\u201d says shimamoto. \u201cit\u2019s going to allow paraprofessionals to take on more strategic tasks, elevating their roles within firms and contributing to a more inclusive profession.\u201d<\/p>\n
as the discussion wraps up, mason points out that ai offers a chance to fast-track careers in accounting. by automating routine tasks, new accountants can quickly move into roles that require critical thinking and analysis\u2014roles that historically took years to reach. patrick agrees, adding that those who embrace ai and learn to work alongside it will find themselves at the forefront of a more dynamic and rewarding profession.<\/p>\n
