So, let's have a look at the current accounting trends that you should be aware of:
 
1. Increased Use of Data Security
Accounting businesses and their clients communicate more information electronically, so they must 
protect themselves against cyber risks and other data security issues. One method to accomplish this 
is to make sure their personnel understand data security. 
Cloud-based software is a cost-effective and scalable method of securely storing data online. This 
makes it easier for accountants to work on the go or from home. 
Accounting businesses should also use two-factor authentication systems to ensure that only 
authorized individuals have access to sensitive information, as accountants and customers share a 
great deal of confidential financial information.
Accounting in the Cloud
 
Most businesses can now only do two things: use the cloud and perform accounting. Accounting 
systems hosted in the cloud have enabled many businesses to access their digitally hosted system at 
any time and from any location. There are many advantages to using cloud technology. Even 
accountants recognized the importance of cloud-based applications. 
Sage's "The Practice of Now" reported that 67% of accountants thought that cloud-based solutions 
made their work easier and better. 
According to another Accounting Today research, 58% of organizations recognized and accepted the 
benefits of going to the cloud, and they now use cloud-based accounting solutions. This highlights the 
importance of the cloud in accounting streams.

In this day and age of modernization and digitization, there is no doubt that the need for good 
financial software is increasing. As a result, the company accounting software market is predicted to 
develop at a 6% annual rate between 2020 and 2025. 
Technology is more important than ever if you want to stay current and ahead of the competition. 
For example, SMEs might look at accounting and financial software that can help them with tasks 
such as cash management and expenditure, billing and invoicing, and payroll processing.
Using accounting software improves accuracy by reducing errors. Advanced technology-enabled 
software programs create financial analysis reports with a single click, allowing for more effective 
decision making. Furthermore, all data may be backed up to cloud storage, making recovery easier in 
the event of a loss.
AI for Accounting
Chief information officers (CIOs) and accountants agree that one of the new technologies that will influence 
the future of the sector is artificial intelligence software. 
According to a Harvey Nash/KPMG poll, 20% of accountants have invested in and are using AI technology. 
Another 20% said they planned to use AI within the next 12 months (Sage, 2020). 
On the other hand, 47% of CIOs believe that the COVID-19 pandemic has sped up digital transformation and 
increased the use of emerging technologies such as AI, machine learning, blockchain, and automation. 
Businesses must obtain high-quality data because AI relies heavily on it. This allows businesses to get accurate 
business intelligence, providing them an advantage over their competition.
Businesses struggled to adopt AI for two main reasons. Complex implementation methods necessitate 
significant capital investments. As the need for these two technologies grows in the next years, organizations 
will seek out more efficient ways to integrate them seamlessly. 
Real-time Payments
In 2024, there was a need for real-time payment solutions to 
speed up transactions, reduce settlement times, and fulfill 
the expectations of an increasingly dynamic market. 
Not all businesses that embarked to adopt real-time 
payments in the past succeeded. They encountered 
traditional challenges such as antiquated infrastructure and 
regulatory difficulties, as well as more unusual ones such as 
mindset adjustments and resistance to change. 
Taxes Can be Filed Online
If you want to improve your finances, you have to spend a significant amount of work to ensuring that 
your tax calculations are proper. However, you may use internet software and tools to automate tax 
filing, keep track of your tax returns, and simplify bookkeeping. 
One can learn how to utilize these apps on their own or with the help of an accountant. In either case, 
filing taxes online is a convenient and efficient approach for small businesses and SMEs to complete their 
taxes. However, like with any technology solution, it is important that the individual using these tools for 
business understands how to use them correctly and professionally
