In Accounting Today’s special report on accounting firm tech stacks, GHJ’s Client Accounting and Advisory Services Practice Leader Arna Erazo was quoted on aligning technology to firm strategy. 

The article explores how accounting and advisory firms are incorporating their tech stacks into their operating models to better support client services and growth. Arna shares the connection between a firm’s technology and its overall strategy. 

She states, “Technology should support where the firm is going — its growth goals, service model and client experience — not just solve an immediate operational frustration.”

Arna also mentions that without a clear long-term vision for technology within a firm, a business could end up with disconnected systems that drive little value. She emphasizes that technology adoption should go hand-in-hand with process redesign, and a new implementation is reason for an assessment of a firm’s existing workflows and processes that can be alleviated through technology.
