  • Giles Pearson, the CEO and co-founder of Accountests, acompany that specializes in skills assessment and training for CPAs. The interview focuses on the role of AI in the accounting industry and how it can be used to streamline processes, reduce errors, and improve efficiency.

    The effect of AI on jobs in the accounting sector is alsodiscussed in the interview. While some lower-level tasks can now be automated, according to Giles Pearson, AI is not necessarily trying to eliminate jobs. Instead, it is a brand-new tool that is stronger than conventional tools and can address issues with finite solutions. Overall, Giles Pearson thinks that through increasing productivity and lowering errors, AI has the potential to change the accounting business. But he also acknowledges that integrating AI into accounting procedures is not without its difficulties. Employee resistance, for instance, could come from those who worry about losing their jobs or who are uneasy about using new technologies.
