But that's based on the notion that bookkeepers are little more than data entry clerks. For those who are eager to take on more analytical and advisory responsibilities, the adoption of AI can actually be a good thing. The bottom line? Accounting professionals are still in demand, but the way they do their jobs is changing. Keep reading to find out how.
