“ The space is moving too rapidly to wait for traditional academic curricula to catch up. We decided to take that challenge on ourselves. If a Controller or CAO is hiring, I want them to feel that a FloQast Certified Accountant is the gold standard for a modern firm.”

The programme, which includes ongoing education requirements, represents a commitment to ensuring accountants don’ t just survive an AI-enabled future – they lead it.

Emphasising the human side of AI adoption Successful AI adoption requires more than just technical implementation, it demands a fundamental mindset shift.

For the transition to be effective, every stakeholder must be aligned on a unified vision of how human expertise and machine efficiency coexist.

“ I’ ll say it again, one of our key focus areas is ensuring that accountants own the future of accounting with AI,” Mike says.“ That is non-negotiable. When you look at how automation is deployed, there are two hurdles: domain expertise and technical build capacity. AI has accelerated our ability to build tools rapidly, which makes it incumbent upon us to put that power directly into the hands of the domain experts. Accountants are now the ones supervising AI agents and refining the automation of their own workflows.” floqast. com
