Bringing modern technology to accounting: how cloud, AI,
machine learning,… can serve accountants today.
COVID-19 has accelerated the much needed digital transformation within the accounting profession. The data we previously relied on for financial forecasting has also been impacted by this uncertain operating environment. In this session, we’ll explore how modern technology is harnessed by the Silverfin platform to achieve dynamic financial planning. We’ll showcase technical developments for accountants from Silverfin Marketplace partners in artificial intelligence and machine learning, benchmarking and cash tracking.
