This is a fascinating domain! Many years ago, I studied financial accounting in grad school and even spent some time modeling a double-entry bookkeeping system. The hardest problem, if I recall correctly, wasn't the implementation but the data quality. The world needs a golden dataset of accounting procedures.

Regarding the diminishing returns with frontier models:

My general experience working with LLMs is that they perform better incrementally and to avoid contiguous-greedy approaches. Aggregate as you go and don't take on incrementally larger tasks. Keep the workload minimal.

Regarding agentic tool building: feels like I'm looking at a window into the future.
