A Hackathon to Shape the Future of Accounting
For its first edition,
Pennylane brought together
85 participants working on 13 innovative projects. Accountants, accounting firm professionals, and developers joined forces to explore new opportunities offered by artificial intelligence in the accounting profession.
Starting from 30 initial ideas, the teams designed and developed practical solutions using the Pennylane MCP and AI-powered tools such as Claude and Lovable.
The goal was to experiment with new ways of using accounting data, design interfaces tailored to professionals' needs, and rethink everyday workflows.
Esther and Arnaud Represent Kapstone on the Podium
Among the participants,
Esther and Arnaud proudly represented Kapstone throughout the event.
They were joined by
Lucrèce, Yann, Reouven, and Dalila, who also took part in this collaborative experience.
Over the two days, their team exchanged ideas, explored new technologies, and helped develop a prototype presented to a panel of industry professionals.
Their efforts resulted in
a podium finish at the first Pennylane Hackathon, recognising the team's commitment, creativity, and collaborative spirit.
Beyond the achievement itself, the event provided an opportunity to connect with other professionals, exchange perspectives, and explore new approaches to working.
Innovation and Artificial Intelligence at the Heart of Our Approach
At Kapstone, we see digital transformation as a key driver of progress in the accounting profession.
Artificial intelligence creates new opportunities to streamline data analysis, automate repetitive tasks, and enable professionals to devote more time to advisory services and supporting businesses.
Taking part in events such as the Pennylane Hackathon reflects our commitment to exploring emerging technologies and continuously improving the way we work.
We warmly congratulate Esther and Arnaud on their participation and this outstanding team achievement!
A big thank you to Pennylane for organising this first edition, filled with valuable connections, creativity, and innovation.
