Synder, the AI-powered accounting automation platform trusted by 5,000+ businesses and 200 accounting firms, today released its industry report, 2025 Emerging Trends in Accounting AI: Progress, Pitfalls, and the Path Ahead. Based on a survey of 424 US-based senior finance leaders in mid-market and enterprise ecommerce and SaaS, the report reveals how AI is transforming accounting, and where teams are still falling short.

 "AI in accounting has moved from theory to practice," said Michael Astreiko, CEO of Synder. "But implementation alone doesn't drive ROI. Teams that treat automation as infrastructure, and invest in integration and training, are the ones getting ahead. There are aspects of work, like reconciliation, where you need surgery-level accuracy, and neither manual workflows nor AI alone can achieve that today, but software can. There are many areas where AI and technology already have solid traction, and that momentum will only accelerate as we continue to explore and refine this path."
