Regulatory reforms in the financial sector are expected to drive the growth of the bookkeeping, financial auditing, and other accounting services market in the coming years. Financial sector regulatory reform involves updating or modifying rules and oversight systems to ensure that financial institutions operate more safely, transparently, and efficiently while protecting consumers and the broader economy. The rise in regulatory reform is driven by increasing financial risks and market complexities, prompting governments to strengthen rules that maintain stability and prevent future crises. Bookkeeping, financial auditing, and other accounting services support these reforms by enhancing the accuracy, transparency, and reliability of financial records, enabling regulators to enforce standards more effectively. For example, in August 2025, according to Fenergo, an Ireland-based provider of regulatory compliance solutions for financial institutions, regulatory fines imposed on financial institutions surged approximately 417% year-over-year to around $1.23 billion, up from about $238.6 million in H1 2024, with North American regulators alone increasing penalties by 565% compared to the same period in 2024. Therefore, regulatory reforms in the financial sector are contributing to the growth of the bookkeeping, financial auditing, and other accounting services market.
Leading companies in the bookkeeping, financial auditing, and other accounting services market are prioritizing the development of innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI)-powered digital assistants, to improve efficiency and streamline accounting and audit workflows. AI-powered digital assistants are tools that deliver precise answers to profession-specific queries, assist in processing and analyzing audit evidence, and facilitate the creation of essential audit workpapers and deliverables, enabling professionals to focus on strategic decision-making instead of routine tasks. For example, in May 2024, Caseware International Inc., a Canada-based software solutions company, launched AiDA, an AI-powered digital assistant designed to transform auditing and accounting processes. AiDA provides accurate answers to profession-specific questions, enhancing the efficiency of accounting, audit, and finance professionals by addressing methodology and compliance inquiries in real time.

Additionally, Verify leverages data analysis from tens of millions of expenses and receipts within the SAP Concur platform, applying a library of AI and machine learning detection scenarios to identify probable spending concerns.
