I'm not very familiar with the field on a practical basis.

What parts of the job require judgement that is resistant to automation? What percentage of customers need that?

If the hours an accountant spends on a customer go from 4 per month to 1, do you reckon they can sustainably charge the same?



Why would better efficiency mean they have to charge less?


Because your competitor will double their number of customers, and halve their prices— forcing you to do the same.


So then everyone would continue earning the same as before.
