Digital transformation is a buzzword in today's world. Companies everywhere are looking to start their transformations. But few have the in-house knowledge to begin their journey, and fewer still in the accounting and finance function. We at Akkadia Consulting believe that a massive transformation in the next several decades is going to take place within the accounting and finance function. Automation, data visualization, and artificial intelligence are poised to reshape the entire industry. Accounting will no longer be a backward-looking role. The accounting role will instead become a more strategic, value-added, forward-looking partner. Those companies that begin their digital transformation journeys today will be well-prepared for these changes. Those that do not will be the laggards of their industries in the coming decades.At Akkadia Consulting, we focus on three primary drivers of organizational change within the accounting and finance function: automation, data visualization, and analytics. Automation will be the primary driver of change in the next decade throughout the accounting industry, as companies leverage technologies such as robotic process automation (RPA). Once accounting departments have streamlined many of their existing accounting processes, data visualization and advanced analytics will become paramount, as companies seek to make decisions quicker using visual aids and search for opportunities for growth using big data.We are passionate about helping to reshape the accounting and finance industries and look forward to working with clients as they embark on this transformation.
