Ashift in consumer trends and rapid technological development in the financial sector have necessitated a novel approach to how accounting firms add value to clients. Applications in financial services have become more specialized after financial institutions introduced cloud-based offerings such as person-to-person payments, online transfer alerts, and other solutions. In the wake of these trends, the financial services market is expected to reach a CAGR of 7.89 percent over the forecast period 2022 – 2027.
Driving this growth in the financial services market is blockchain technology. The distributed ledger technology enables secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions. This technology in the financial sector is already lowering ledger reconciliation and maintenance costs. The system also provides accurate information on asset ownership and history. As a result, accountants are better equipped to understand their company’s obligations and resources. Financial firms are paying close attention to the potential implications of this modern technology as it is potentially revolutionizing businesses’ operations.
