Verdict
While many accounting tasks can be automated, the profession still requires critical thinking, ethical judgment, and effective communication, which are less susceptible to AI substitution. Over the next 5–10 years, accountants will likely see a shift in their roles towards more advisory functions as routine tasks become automated.
