Could you build this?
No Running a zero-human accounting firm requires absolute financial correctness, complex statutory tax and GAAP/IFRS regulatory compliance, and legal liability management that hallucination-prone AI cannot autonomously guarantee.
What it would actually take: This requires building a deterministic double-entry accounting engine integrated with deep OCR/document parsers for invoices, receipts, and bank feeds (via Plaid/Codat). It also demands rule-verified agent workflows that conform strictly to GAAP/IRS standards, zero-tolerance reconciliation math engines, and credentialed CPAs to sign off on statutory tax filings, regulatory audits, and fiduciary representations.
