How has technology changed your job?

A lot, though I have been working for a long time so things are bound to change.

The biggest difference is being able to work from home. Yes, there are benefits to working in the office but having the ability to work from home is a game changer for many reasons. I would have to drag my butt into the office during a snowstorm and now I work from the comfort of home. Having people work on the same project around the globe is amazing, resources can be found anywhere.

My first job out of college I was an office manager and I hand wrote checks on a One Write system. It was antiquated even then but I learned the accounting process well. Now everything is automated and few checks are done. The lack of paper to keep and file is fantastic as I tend to keep a messy desk.

I do worry a bit about AI taking some of my job away but I still think there is a need for human intervention and intelligence in accounting.
