My wife is a CPA accountant and I'll go out on a limb and say that 80% of her time is spent doing the equivalent of data cleaning and validation. The balance of her time is making judgement calls so she can appropriately reconcile notional rules against the messiness of real world business transactions.

For example, if you administered a leetcode style examination to me, even at the easy level, I'd probably fail miserably compared to an AI.
However, I am a far more competent professional programmer than an AI.
Is accounting all just rote knowledge? Is there some degree of correctness that can be measured?
Will be interested to see what you come up with if you plan to put data behind your business model.
