The AI-First Shift in Accounting

From manual work → to exception-driven, AI-assisted work

Audit
Audit
  • •

    Sampling shrinks dramatically – analytics becomes the default, sampling the fallback

  • •

    Evidence chasing reduces – automated PBCs, intake, filing, and status dashboards

  • •

    Workpaper accelerate – AI-assisted first drafts with faster, structured reviews

  • •

    Continuous readiness grows – exceptions flagged regularly, not once a year

Close / FP&A
Close / FP&A
  • •

    Month-end becomes always-on – continuous reconciliation replaces fire drills

  • •

    Approvals become controlled – routing with segregation of duties and audit trail

  • •

    Exceptions surface early – issues flagged daily, not discovered late

  • •

    Reporting becomes steering – dashboards plus AI-generated narrative insights

Tax
Tax
  • •

    Prep automates – humans shift from production to review and strategy

  • •

    Intake becomes structured – document ingestion, missing-item and reasonability checks

  • •

    Notices and reforms streamline – AI-drafted responses routed for approval

  • •

    Advisory expands – planning opportunities flagged via patterns and thresholds
