Horizons Spring/Summer 2019

Predictions for 2020

A quick Google search of predictions for the next decade generated a list of amusing stories about the proliferation of robots, 3D printing, text by thought and electric cars. It’s fascinating to think about where we will be ten years from now in 2029. Here at RubinBrown, we’re keeping our eye on the future and adapting to the changing environment, relentlessly pursuing innovation, and tempering it all with sound and time-tested strategies so that we can continue to build value for you — our devoted clients. The accounting profession will most certainly evolve. We’re all examining the effects that data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology will have on the way we do business. As our firms become more automated and data driven, we’re also changing the way we recruit talent — focusing not just on CPAs, but technology professionals as well. This issue of Horizons provides key insights and predictions for how business will evolve within the industries we serve. From AI and automation to economic recessions and globalization, there is no doubt that the world will be very different than it is today. Throughout the 2020s, we will continue to provide you the highest level of service as well as serve as your most trusted business advisor.
