Automação do processo de abertura de empresa e das práticas contábil

Abstract

This study aims to understand how technological advancements—such as artificial intelligence, digital and governmental platforms, and integrated systems—have simplified the bureaucratic procedures for business formalization in Brazil, promoting greater agility, legal security, time savings, and reduced operational costs. The research presents a historical overview of business registration, from its traditional, time-consuming, and in-person processes to the current digitalized reality driven by REDESIM and the increasing use of digital signatures and electronic validations. Furthermore, the study highlights the accountant’s evolving role in this new landscape: shifting from a purely technical executor to a strategic and consultative agent, responsible for generating relevant analyses and supporting business decision-making. Interviews were conducted with three accounting professionals—a senior accountant, a young accountant, and an app developer focused on digital company registration—revealing multiple perspectives on the adoption of automation. The methodology applied was qualitative, combining bibliographic analysis with semi-structured interviews, allowing for a broad understanding of both the objective impacts and the subjective perceptions of the professionals interviewed. The study concludes that, despite the challenges of adaptation, especially among more experienced professionals, automation is an irreversible trend capable of elevating accounting practices to more strategic and efficient levels.
