Reevaluating Processes Post-COVID
COVID-19 prompted many businesses to adopt rapid decision-making processes and modify their organizational methods, particularly in the accounting sector. The shift to remote work and digital solutions showed that firms previously hesitant to transition to paperless environments could implement significant changes in a short period, often within just months.
