Sounds too good to be true, but a study by <a href=\"https:\/\/thedatascientist.com\/how-to-increase-your-companys-productivity-by-40-by-using-ai-to-streamline-your-processes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Accenture predicts that AI <\/a>can help accountancy firms boost productivity by up to 40% by 2034. It\u2019s this tantalising promise that continues to make AI the talk of the town. But, many are still asking if the current buzz is worth the fuss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ken notes that AI will mean different things to different firms and the whitepaper will help accountants understand how AI can help their specific needs and find an AI solution that works for them: \u201cIn this whitepaper, we summarise the multiple conversations we have with accountants every day, providing pragmatic advice and showcasing the tangible gains of AI for accountancy firms. We also address possible pains and provide practical solutions. We aim to provide answers that don\u2019t just fan the flames of the hype. Rather, we explore the true impact of AI on accountancy.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambitious UK firms including top 30 firm Gravita are already working with Silverfin and other providers to assess and implement AI that enhances core accounting work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAI should replace processes, not people,\u201d explains <strong>Russell Frayne, Director of Transformation at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gravita.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gravita<\/a>. \u201c<\/strong>If you automate the processes that you spend ages doing manually, you\u2019ll free up time to have more interactions with your clients and take up more of an advisory role.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ai-is-not-a-miracle-drug\"><strong>AI is not a miracle drug<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile many headlines speak to the impending AI takeover, it is not a miracle drug,\u201d explains Ken.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile AI can automate some tasks, it enhances human abilities rather than replacing them entirely. Put differently, AI will change the responsibilities of existing roles rather than creating new ones, all while reducing the \u2013 often heavy \u2013 workload many accountants face.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ken says the whitepaper looks at the concern many partners have that AI will bring chaos to client data governance and compliance. \u201cWith proper protocols and oversight, these concerns can be mitigated while even making your compliance work easier and better. All in all, the key is finding a way for the human and machine to work together hand in hand, so that each compliments the other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ken explains it\u2019s about finding the right technology partners too: \u201cAt Silverfin, we see it as our duty to ensure that relevant, state-of-the-art AI features are readily accessible \u2013 with a steadfast commitment to assisting accountants and staying ahead of the curve by actively engaging with the latest advancements. That\u2019s why and how we\u2019ve seamlessly integrated AI and deep machine learning into Silverfin for several years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gravita-uses-ai-to-find-data-errors-and-improve-productivity\"><strong>Gravita uses AI to find data errors and improve productivity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen Gravita tried out <a href=\"https:\/\/silverfin.com\/en-ie\/product\/silverfin-assistant\/\">Silverfin Assistant<\/a> for the first time in the accounts preparation stage, the advanced AI tool immediately showed its value,\u201d Russell explains.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInstead of reviewing the data manually, we ran it through Silverfin Assistant. The tool ran around 100 checks and spotted three or four opportunities that were \u2018nice to know\u2019, but also <strong>four errors that were spot-on. It would have taken an accountant, say, 30 minutes<\/strong> or more to dive into the file and find those anomalies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former PwC accountant and now <strong>Silverfin\u2019s UK General Manager, Cameron Ford, <\/strong>concludes: \u201cAccountancy has already been evolving due in part to cloud-based software. But the change AI brings is an even greater acceleration, which also propels the need for accountancy firms to have an AI strategy in place as the resulting changes will invariably affect everyone in the firm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe hope this whitepaper will give accountants a solid understanding of AI\u2019s potential and how to approach it safely while maximising the opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A copy of \u2018Beyond the hype: the real benefits of AI for your accountancy firm\u2019 can be downloaded <a href=\"https:\/\/connected.silverfin.com\/en-gb\/ai-beyond-the-hype-wp?utm_source=silverfin.com&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=UK_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-silverfin\"><strong>About Silverfin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Silverfin is the cloud platform that makes accountants successful.
