The common fear about automation today is the belief it will displace millions of jobs. This fear becomes more complicated in the context of The Great Resignation, when many are already re-evaluating their willingness to assume the mundane pressures of the workday.

While it could make certain functions obsolete, a more optimistic view is that automation enables people to re-center their workday on more essential, purposeful functions.

Like it or not, automation is here to stay; as history shows, propelling efficiency is always in vogue. But technology is only as good as the people it serves.

Join Michael Ly, Author and CEO of Reconciled, and Chris Elmore, UNC Professor and Chief Evangelist of AvidXchange, for this illuminating discussion on the intersection of people and accounting automation. This webinar will include:

How to embrace automation to solve bottlenecks without sacrificing the employee experience
How technology can help accounting firms concentrate on real people
Why history shows technology doesn’t replace people, but helps them focus on more strategic initiatives
How automation can contribute to mental thriving
