Beyond manual data entry. How AI is giving accountants more time back
Manual AP workflows are outdated, inefficient, and error-prone. And although many companies want better for their teams, it’s not easy to know where to start. Couple this with the prevailing fear that AI (artificial intelligence) is poised to take accounting jobs (untrue, by the way), and it’s understandable that companies are reluctant to make significant change.
But AI is actually a friend ― not the enemy ― for many AP teams. In this blog, we’ll explore why you can embrace AI-powered solutions with confidence, enabling your team to spend more time strategically, and less time on manual data entry.

86% of accounting teams still enter data manually. Not only does this take up a lot of time that could be better spent on more strategic tasks, it can also lead to a high rate of error and an increased risk of fraud, not to mention burnout and high-turnover within your AP team.
