EP 322: Giles Pearson - The Future of Accounting: Exploring AI's Role in Efficiency and Skill Assessment - a podcast by Rush Tech Support

Giles Pearson, the CEO and co-founder of Accountests, a
company 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 also
discussed 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.
