“When automation exists, accountants will not spend
much time on those basic tasks. Instead, they will
spend more time on value-added activities or tasks. For
example, they will spend much more time on financial
analysis, budgeting, projection, variance analysis, and
other tasks that involve more strategic decisions to
further grow the company”
