State of European Accounting Tech 2026
Chift has just released the State of European Accounting Tech 2026, the most comprehensive study of its kind. 1,400+ SMEs and chartered accountants surveyed, 10 European countries covered, 150+ accounting software mapped.
➡️ On June 11th at 11:00 AM CET, we'll unpack what the data actually means in an interactive session walking you through the numbers, the surprises, and the strategic takeaways.
A few of the findings we'll dig into:
🌍 How we mapped 150+ accounting software across 10 countries, and what that fragmentation actually means for software vendors
🔌 Why 86% of SMEs now see the lack of integration between financial tools as a problem and what that unlocks
⚡ Why automation is the outcome, but integration is the enabler and how the two reinforce each other
🤖 Where AI adoption is genuinely accelerating in accounting workflows, and where it's still hype
What you'll walk away with:
A clear read on where the European accounting tech market is heading in 2026
Concrete benchmarks on accounting market leaders and AI strategy
