Outsourcing of accounting and other services is a growing trend that is present, especially among micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. It allows them to focus on performing their main activity, while leaving the bookkeeping and financial statements to a specialized accounting service, usually to reduce costs. Accountants face numerous challenges in their work brought by legislation changes, controls, regulatory bodies and clients themselves. It is precisely these challenges that are faced and the trends that prevail in this profession that are the subject of this work and research. The goal is to find out what the trends and challenges are and how digitalization affects the work of accountants. Namely, technology plays a key role in the performance of such services, and its progress and digitization can facilitate and speed up the work of accountants. Everything that can be done is done electronically. Routine and repetitive tasks are left to accounting software that can perform them with quality and precision. However, with the increasing automation and advancement of technology, it is interesting that the volume of work for accountants does not decrease, but on the contrary, increases, while the need for its further development is unquestionable. At the same time, e-business is most represented in the area of tax and contribution reporting and still less so in areas such as einvoices, although this is also being improved and introduced as an obligation for an increasing number of business entities. Communication with clients still takes place most often through traditional means, and not all phases of the accounting process are supported by e-business, which means that there is still plenty of room for improvement for better quality services.
