A software cannot replace an Accountant.i.e.An accountant's brain cannot be replaced by a software or its brain.A software cannot replace even an Accounts Assistant.Accounts requires a specialised skill requiring some decision making as per the business situations and circumstances.Software can do preset preprogrammed ideas of a software engineer availing the expoertise of an Accountant only.A software can only give general medicine for cold, cough,headache only.

No. Accountant can not be replaced by mere software. Even though software is already available and know how to manipulate it, the one using this should have knowledge in accounting. If he's not, then he will just be doing generating reports but not be able to analyze its content because financial data entered into the software is not the only factor in analyzing things. There are other factors.
