AI in Accounting 

Should You Trust a Robot With Your Books? 

We’re not saying a robot is coming for your job… but it might be better at reconciling accounts than your intern. AI in accounting is here—and it’s not going anywhere.

Where AI shines:

  • Auto-categorizing transactions

  • Flagging suspicious activity

  • Speeding up data entry (and eliminating typos like “exxpensse”)

Where it still stumbles:

  • Complex judgment calls (like, “Was that dinner a business expense or just tacos?”)

  • Explaining things to the IRS with charm

Should you use it?
Yes—but with human oversight. Let AI do the grunt work, but don’t hand it the keys to your entire accounting kingdom.

✅ Funny Tip: If your robot bookkeeper starts charging you rent, maybe double-check the settings.
