Accounting has its development aligned with the progress of humanity. With globalization, the accounting area had to adapt to market needs. The professionals inserted in this evolution face significant challenges, of which the search for improvement must prevail. The objective was to analyze the impacts of the Technological Revolution on the accounting performance of professionals in the exercise of their duties and the new profile required with the innovation of the digital age. The methodological aspects included the accomplishment of bibliographical research, using references in the updated temporal nexus, with publications from 2015. The results indicate the extreme importance of the permanent improvement of accounting professionals, in search of constant changes inherent to the developed activities, because the valuation of the accounting profession will only happen if professionals are aware that the new challenges are opportunities for growth and expansion of the profession. This is the pace of digital innovation.
