The Happy Accountant ACCA webinar comes from Finland, the happiest country in the world. Presented by Finnish-Dutch finance transformation expert Satu Schroderus and Finnish financial close automation software company Aico.
In this session, we will explore:
-
Why Finance Transformation (and particularly the month-end closing) is great news for accountants.
-
How to navigate the transformation projects.
-
How technology can make accounting work less stressful.
Month-end close activities, intelligent tools, and robots take space from the traditional accounting areas, especially with a boost in the last 1-2 years.
The day of an accountant seems like a stretch between technology and tradition. However, the new way of working and the growing role of carbon footprint and sustainability accounting are another trend an accountant needs to cope with.
So what does this do for the Professional in Accounting?
-
We think that Finance transformation and Automation provide a Great opportunity for an accountant to shine like never before.
-
Reliability, Accuracy, and Value are keys to happy companies. The same applies to Accountants. Especially today.
-
Join us for an inspiring session of thoughts about Happy Accountant; Perspectives to embrace today’s developments for your personal, professional journey.
