Rillet’s Post

According to the CPA Journal, the number of accounting graduates has decreased, with a 33% drop in first-time CPA exam candidates from 2016 to 2021. I’m hopeful our industry can figure out how to bring more young people in, but I know AI will also be needed to automate much of the current manual workflows. Next week, Rillet’s CEO Nicolas Kopp is hosting a webinar on how AI is transforming the accounting and finance function with Morgan Stanley and OneStream Software. You can sign up below!

The AICPA expects that more than 75% of accountants will retire in the next 15 years. Yes, the industry needs to find ways to recruit new accountants. BUT, let's also utilize AI to automate the grunt accounting work!

The number of accounting graduates has been decreasing, with a 33% drop in first-time CPA exam candidates from 2016 to 2021. There are many reasons, but I know the next generation of accountants won't accept the status quo of the accounting industry and it's technology. Next week, Rillet CEO Nicolas Kopp is hosting a webinar next week on how AI is transforming the accounting and finance function with Morgan Stanley and OneStream Software. You can sign up below!

The finance tech stack has evolved dramatically over the last few decades from on premise ERPs, to cloud-based FP&A platforms to AI powered AP tools today. The role of the CFO has also evolved from a balance sheet overseer to a strategic and collaborative partner. AI will transform the role again enabling smaller teams to work more effectively with better tools. Join us this Thursday (11/21) at 9am PT/12pm ET for a discussion with OneStream Software CFO Bill Koefoed and Chris Quintero from Morgan Stanley and Rillet CEO Nicolas Kopp on how AI is transforming the CFO function and the finance tech stack.

It’s day 2 at Unit4’s #XKO2025 in Amsterdam and we’ve just heard Oliver Sullivin tackle the subject of FP&A and it’s importance to businesses, especially CFO’s. One unexpected fact was that more than 75% of CFO’s say that they are now responsible for enterprise wide data & analytics as responsibility is gradually shifting… The analysts feedback on Unit4’s FP&A software speaks for itself (see the picture below) so if you’re a CFO who wants to make smarter, faster & more strategic decisions as more responsibility falls on you, reach out to chat about how Vision ERP can give you more time and more peace of mind.

FP&A teams using legacy applications (or even just spreadsheets) spend most of their time consolidating and cleaning data from different sources. By the time they have done this, the data is already stale. With OneStream Software Finance's data, plans and functions are unified into a single 'source of truth' for planning and Finance. Data moves bi-bidirectionally between plans and statements for a dynamic view of the organisation. Users can drill to transaction level in their ERPs meaning FP&A can trust their data - and spend more time spend focused on the future, rather than the past. Make the move from reactive to predictive.
