Weekly AI Roundup for Accountants: Nobody said hours
An Instagram ad with a Xero discount code told 77,000 followers that Claude had replaced an £800-a-month accountant, and Xero apologised twice without saying it couldn't be done. The same week the AICPA said a CPA's fee has to price in the liability, Intuit's CFO called human accountability the thing AI can't take from tax and said Intuit sold it for $150, and BILL's CEO said if his software saves you work, you should pay him for it. Nobody said hours.
