What kind of AI automation is coming for small finance team?
AI is bringing predictive analytics and compliance checks into the daily workflows of small finance teams. Beyond automating transactions, AI will help accountants anticipate issues, propose corrections, and ensure postings meet regulatory standards. This shift accelerates processes while embedding proactive oversight into accounting functions.

Automation in finance is accelerating rapidly. We’re going to see more tools with predictive analytics that help accounting teams streamline workflows and anticipate what needs to be done as soon as certain postings arrive.
Tasks that are currently handled by controllers — such as identifying issues and suggesting resolutions — will increasingly shift to the accounting department, with AI even proposing solutions to those problems.
AI will also play a role in compliance, ensuring that postings align with audit rules and regulations. This takes automation beyond transactional processing, not only speeding up workflows but also reshaping the role of finance teams in the near future.
