I know a lot of accountants. One is a chief accounting officer at a medium-sized tech company and she has already replaced about 5 people in her org with AI. She says she sees a lot of low hanging fruit in finance that will be replaced by AI at her company, by her specifically. I know another partner at Big 4 that is going heavy into AI usage as well. The idea that AI isn't good in finance and accounting is a myth.

Interesting how "low hanging fruit" always stops just below the level of the person doing the fruit picking. Check back with her when her own boss replaces her with an AI, and let us know how she feels about it.

Lmao this is absolute nonsense.

First of all accounting as a whole is incredibly broad. The fact you don’t recognise that in your post with nuance shows you have zero clue what you are talking about.

E.g llm’s are useless in tax auditing. How do I know this? My brother is a partner at pwc.
