Abstract: The relationship between technology and the accounting profession began with computers and continued with the Internet. Today, driven by rapid developments in the technological innovation market, accounting, like other economic fields, is trying to keep up with the explosion of game-changing technologies. Therefore, we consider it necessary to provide a detailed, impartial and comprehensive analysis of the acceptance of digitalisation and the development of digital skills among accounting professionals in the digital economy at economic entities in Romania. In order to achieve the research objective, a questionnaire was distributed among accounting professionals working in the outsourcing financial and accounting services industry in Romania. The research results reveal a predominantly optimistic perception of digital transformation in the accounting field and a significant open-mindedness towards new digital technologies. With regards to the development of digital skills, accounting professionals recognise the importance of continuously updating their knowledge and skills in order to respond to changes in the digital and economic environment.
