Are the bots coming for us? I’ve been hearing a lot about AI streamlining accounting tasks, especially on the audit and bookkeeping side. I’m wondering if I should be worried about job security in the long run? I know it’s great for efficiency but will it take away the need for human accountants you think? Would love to hear thoughts from fellow accountants.

While AI can streamline some tasks, I believe it won't fully replace human accountants. We bring critical thinking and personal insights that bots just can’t replicate. It might mean adapting our roles and focusing on areas like advisory or strategic planning. Embracing the tech can actually enhance our value!

I’m being taken advantage of with being thrown so much work and really don’t see my salary increasing to be in line with my coworkers doing similar work. I’m a consistent high performer - management reviews tell me that much.

My coworker did mention to the manager that they’re not being paid well for the work they do, and our manager took it personally and told them they’re ungrateful 🥲
