Reflecting on AI’s rise in accounting, looking to what comes next

Oct 23, 2025

“You cannot avoid AI” — but you can and should continue to experiment with it.

That’s one key message from consultant and keynote speaker Pascal Finette, who returned to the JofA podcast to discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) adoption has grown and how the profession is dealing with rapid changes and uncertainty.

The conversation revisits topics Finette discussed in 2021 and 2022, and it looks ahead to the Digital CPA Conference, Dec. 7–10 in National Harbor, Md.
