After being pretty heads-down the past year due to building our new products, we came out in full force last week at the Accounting & Finance Show LA. We were there to get the pulse on the future of accounting and to also talk with folks about our new CountingWorks and CountingWorks PRO services.
At the show, we were able to interview a few industry experts on their thoughts about the Future of Accounting, including author of "The Radical CPA," Jody Padar, CPA, strategic advisor Gregory LaFollette, and CPA and cloud accounting expert Blake Oliver.
When we asked Jody her thoughts on whether or not accountants will be completely replaced by AI, here's how she responded: "No. Accountants won't be replaced by AI, but they will be interpreting data a lot differently than they do today and that's where our value comes in, is really to help our small business owners understand the data." You may view the full interview with Jody Padar here.
We also spoke with Gregory LaFollette, CPA, CITP, CGMA, Strategic Advisor at CPA.com, who told us: "There is nothing more important than customer relationships... And technology does amazing things to help make those relationships better than in the past."
The Accounting & Finance Show LA was a success. It was a great day of networking, brainstorming, interviewing and building relationships with thought leaders in the industry. Catch the full recap here.
