By: Whiz Consulting The traditional accounting and financial bookkeeping practices relied heavily on paper and physical contact. The accountants would have to work in an office with numerous files and folders. Paper transactions, invoices, and communication were common. However, with the advent of computers, businesses slowly moved towards electronic data storage. Instead of having files all around, spreadsheets would store the critical data and organize it for firms. However, manually inputting data into excel and related activities made the tasks prone to errors and manipulations. Moreover, staying stuck in a cubicle hit the employees' morale, causing a decrease in professional accounting personnel and graduates. Today, traditional practices have yet again transformed with cloud accounting. Modern accounting problems have received their solution through cloud accounting. The current competitive and ever-evolving time requires firms to have real-time access to data and work flexibly from anywhere, anytime. Cloud accounting provides this elasticity and enables companies to practice remote working. Outsourced bookkeeping services have increased in the current times due to these benefits. Furthermore, businesses can access, change, update, and modify their data in real time and make crucial decisions. "With the help of cloud accounting software like Xero, QuickBooks, etc., we have empowered several small and mid-sized businesses. Their benefits and cost-effectiveness is a cherry on the cake," said the Whiz Consulting officials. Apart from cloud accounting and outsourcing financial bookkeeping, other emerging trends include a rise in robotic process automation (RPA). It covers two aspects- artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). These technologies study large databases with speed and accuracy, saving considerable time and effort. They help optimize workflows, administrative tasks, and accounting processes, resulting in structural changes in the firm. Furthermore, firms now have improved data analysis and forecasting tools. Firms enhance efficiency and minimize risk by analyzing data effectively. It helps make budgeting, forecasting, tax consulting, risk management, and auditing plans and strategies. Blockchain technology is another trend that maintains a ledger account containing financial information. End
