Cloud2Me has published survey findings showing widespread use of artificial intelligence among finance and accountancy professionals, alongside growing concern about compliance and data security risks.

The survey found that 74% of respondents use AI at least a few times a week, while 60% use it daily. ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot were the most commonly used tools, accounting for 55% of reported usage between them. Many professionals said they used more than one platform for different tasks.

Frequent exposure to AI appears to have made many accountants and finance workers more adept at identifying machine-written material. Respondents pointed to recurring signs such as unusual formatting, generic language, and excessive structure or punctuation.

Some said they noticed a mismatch between the language in AI-produced content and the known style of clients or candidates. Others cited factual errors, including cases where AI-generated material did not align with UK accounting rules or contained obvious mistakes.

One respondent highlighted an incident in which a chief executive officer used a diagram showing eight days in a week. Another said AI was being used in reverse to check whether job candidates had relied on it to prepare interview answers.

Adoption Gap

The findings also pointed to a gap between adoption and internal controls. Four in 10 respondents said they chose AI tools mainly because they were convenient or recommended by others, rather than for accuracy or compliance reasons.

That may draw attention in a sector that handles sensitive financial information and operates under strict regulatory obligations. The survey also recorded concerns about where uploaded data is stored and how client information is handled once entered into consumer AI tools.

Several respondents said unsafe AI use had already led to internal disciplinary action. This suggests some firms are dealing with governance issues after adoption rather than before it.

Helen Brooks, Head of Commercial at Cloud2Me, said: “These findings reflect a profession that is maturing in its relationship with AI – but maturing unevenly. Finance and accountancy professionals are sharp enough to spot AI-generated content, yet many are still selecting tools based on convenience rather than compliance credentials.

“In a sector where accuracy and data security are non-negotiable, that gap is a real risk. The GDPR concerns raised here are not hypothetical; they are already resulting in disciplinary action. The question for practices now is not whether to use AI, but whether they have the governance in place to use it responsibly.”

Detection Skills

The responses offered a detailed picture of how finance professionals say they recognise AI-written material. One participant wrote, “M dashes, underscored, conversational speak. It’s a red flag,” while another said, “The big dashes in the answers.”

These comments reflect growing familiarity with the stylistic patterns associated with widely used generative AI tools. Respondents also complained about polished but generic phrasing, saying it often failed to match the communication habits of the person it purported to represent.

One participant described that contrast directly: “You know your clients, and the vocabulary doesn’t correlate to the individual.”

Sector Pressure

The accountancy profession has been under pressure to assess how AI fits into daily work without undermining rules on privacy, record-keeping, and accuracy. Firms are increasingly weighing productivity gains against the risk that models may generate false information or process data in ways that create legal and reputational exposure.

Cloud2Me supports more than 500 accountancy practices across the UK. It provides hosted desktop and managed cloud services for accountants, bookkeepers, and finance teams.

The survey suggests AI use is no longer experimental for many professionals in the sector. The sharper question raised by the responses is whether firms can match that routine use with controls strong enough to prevent errors, misuse, and breaches involving client data.

As one respondent put it: “Several staff members had to have disciplinaries over unsafe AI practice. Where is the data we upload going? Where is it stored? Big GDPR problem.”

Keyloop has completed the acquisition of Motortech.ai, bringing Motortech.ai’s AIME product into its Fusion automotive retail platform.

The deal adds an AI-based customer communications tool for car retailers’ sales and service operations. AIME will be integrated across core parts of Fusion, including Vehicle Hub, Acquisition Hub and Sales Hub.

Motortech.ai is a UK-based developer of automotive retail software. Its main product, AIME, is designed to handle online customer conversations that would otherwise go through website forms or sales staff.

According to Keyloop, the software can respond to customers at any time of day, search vehicle stock, provide finance quotations, value part exchanges, capture test-drive preferences and book appointments. The system is intended to reduce lost leads caused by slow response times and limited out-of-hours support.

AIME also screens customer interactions before passing higher-intent leads to sales teams. By the time a lead reaches staff, the software may already have checked stock, produced finance quotes and valued a part exchange, reducing the time employees spend on each potential sale.

Tom Kilroy, chief executive officer of Keyloop, set the acquisition within the group’s wider use of artificial intelligence in dealership software.

“The acquisition of Motortech.ai and integration of AIME across Fusion is a significant milestone in our AI strategy. By embedding purpose-built conversational AI directly into our platform, we’re giving retailers an always-on capability that engages customers and frees sales teams to focus on what they do best – building relationships and closing deals,” said Kilroy.

Dealer Results

Keyloop cited early results from one dealer already using AIME on its website. The retailer deployed the system as part of an effort to improve customer satisfaction and reduce the number of separate IT tools in use.

Over a three-month period, the dealer’s web conversion rate rose fourfold to 14.5%, according to figures supplied by Keyloop. Sales also increased by 101% over the same period.

Keyloop said the retailer generated GBP £18 in profit for every GBP £1 invested in the software. The business also saved the equivalent of 19 full working days, allowing sales staff to spend more time on customer interactions.

Platform Push

The move expands Keyloop’s presence in AI tools for automotive retail, an area where software providers are trying to help dealers automate more of the customer journey while preserving human involvement in higher-value conversations. By placing AIME inside Fusion rather than offering it as a separate product, Keyloop is seeking to integrate customer communications with the wider systems that manage stock, websites and sales processes.

The acquisition follows an initial agreement to buy Motortech.ai reached earlier this year.
