  • 🤖💼 The FAB Debate: AI vs The Human Touch in Accounting | Samuel Green

    🤖💼 The FAB Debate: AI vs The Human Touch in Accounting | Samuel Green
    May 1 2024

    Today I’m debating Samuel Green, UK Partnership Account Executive of Employment Hero on AI vs the human touch in accounting at the Festival of Accountants and Bookkeepers

    - Smith argues the human touch is crucial for customer service and empathy while Greene emphasises AI's potential for efficiency and insights

    - Both agree AI can streamline repetitive tasks but human oversight is still needed

    - Attendees question how AI will evolve and what to consider when choosing software

    - Smith encourages evaluating long-term roadmaps and support while Greene discusses AI use cases at Employment Hero

    - They find consensus that selective AI use can enhance but not replace the human experience in client relationships

    Write up from the debate

    AI and the case for the human touch

They explored how each platform caters to different industries. The expert implementers shared case studies of successful migrations, highlighting challenges and opportunities clients faced. The presentation covered developing a migration strategy, including exporting data, mapping business processes, and change management. Attendees learned about assessing potential solutions by considering key questions, desired outcomes, and post go-live improvements. The session emphasised preparing early by testing new platforms and leveraging experienced partners for a smooth transition.
