The hard part of accounting, and the part that takes all the time, is the reconciling... which can't be automated. Everything else has been mostly automated since the 90s. Accounting rules are also not as discrete as programming. There is a lot of discretion. Accounting is basically law with numbers and is corresponding just as difficult/ impossible for LLMs to master.
