The company also announced today the launching of Jirav Intelligent Forecasting, or JIF, an artificial intelligence forecasting product that instantaneously creates a forward-looking cash flow forecast.

I'm excited about the impact we're already seeing from AI in expediting and scaling financial planning, especially amid talent shortages in the accounting profession.”

Technology has played a crucial role in the changing relationship between accounting firms and their clients where firms today are a strategic partner in helping businesses thrive.

“Jirav has garnered strong support from the accounting profession for its holistic solution that goes beyond simple financial planning and analysis in the many years they have been a partner,” said Erik Asgeirsson, president and CEO of CPA.com, and Jirav board member. “It unlocks forecasting and planning capabilities that enable modern firms to deliver the higher-level advisory services and value that their business clients expect—further strengthening their roles as trusted strategic advisors.”
