The software that most accountants use is leaning into AI as hard as it can and unlike coders, accountants are being sold the benefits but can’t directly see the shortcomings and don’t have the programming know how to engage with the technical nuance.
Like many other sectors quality is gradually turning to slops as people “let the AI do it”.
By AI i assume you mean Actually Indians, seeing as we have allowed our CPA firms to outsource so much work overseas they already are gaps day to day. The average accounting office of 4 or 5 people is no more. There's no AP Clerk, no AR, No Payroll, its all automated and you've got some boomers hanging on as CFOs steering the ship. Sad stuff.
Beautiful - I can’t wait for the lawsuits/criminal prosecutions and finger pointing.
