Accountants Adopt AI Reshaping Accounting Workflows

Accounting firms are expanding AI use from automation to augmentation, per CPA.com's 2025 AI in Accounting Report and industry sources in 2025–2026. Studies (Stanford/MIT in Journal of Accountancy) show AI reallocates about 8.5% of time to advisory work, while surveys report 41% adoption and widespread hallucination, explainability, confidentiality and regulatory risks.
