Automating Processes and Workflows with AI, RPA and API

Accountants and their clients utilize many software solutions to manage their back office and accounting workflows. Accounting firms are increasingly looking to automate workflows and integrate the third-party software they use to manage their practice and their clients’ books more efficiently and accurately. Some third-party software solutions incorporate AI and provide built-in integrations with popular software. Others provide Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for extracting data and performing operations. A new wave of AI tools known as Robotic Process Automation (RPA) allow anyone to interact with off-the-shelf software even when no APIs are available.

In this session, we will provide an overview of AI, RPA and API technology and discuss where each can play a role in a firm’s automation strategy. We will discuss some examples of how each can be used – out-of-the box and with custom integrations tailored to the software you use in your firm.
