change is inevitable, but learning to navigate transformation effectively is the key to long-term success for finance and accounting professionals. in this part two of the accounting influencers podcast with hannah munro, the change expert shares her insights on how firms and finance leaders can embrace change and drive it forward to enhance efficiency, adaptability, and business impact.

“what’s also very interesting is that change is getting faster,” says munro, managing director at itas solutions and host of the cfo 4.0 podcast. “the pace of change is accelerating, and that volatility and uncertainty are driving the need for finance professionals to step up and elevate their role.”

munro emphasizes that transformation is not a one-time event but a journey. “if you feel like it’s something short term that you’re going to suffer through and then never have to change again, you are probably living in the wrong century.”

jim bourke, a recognized leader in accounting technology and a partner at withum, shares his insights on the rapid transformation of the accounting profession in a recent episode of the accounting influencers podcast. with decades of experience advising firms on technology adoption, bourke discusses how artificial intelligence (ai), cloud computing, and regulatory changes are shaping the industry.

“the excitement around technology today is off the charts,” bourke states, highlighting how innovations like chatgpt have reignited enthusiasm for ai in accounting. just a year ago, ai was barely mentioned at major industry conferences. now, it is at the forefront of discussions as firms evaluate how automation can streamline audits, tax preparation, and client advisory services.

“ai is not here to take the accountant’s job away,” he clarifies. “it will allow them to focus on what they were trained to do—interpret results and advise clients—while letting the machines handle repetitive tasks.”
