90% convinced accounting should be a programming role. Accumulating data from multiple sources into your chart of accounts almost always requires code of some kind. I’m guessing this is never done properly and accounts are just inaccurate because of this.

With ledger-cli + sql and parsing zap data I can have very accurate balance sheet of zap donations, total zaps broken down by posts, merch sales, even cln routing fees earned, sats lost due to channel close fees, etc. couldn’t have done it without code.

Accountants need the drive for automation that some have latched onto in software. I’ve seen programmers who fail to automate so they struggle as well with speed and correctness.

All to say that making an accountant a programmer doesn’t imply they we’ll have the desired outcome.
