God, please, no. Non-deterministic language models aren't the solution to improve bookkeeping.

But in general, I tend to side with the "lets leave the math to purpose built models/applications" instead of generalized LLMS. LLMs are great if you are just aiming for "good enough to get through next quarter" type results. If you need 100% accuracy, an LLM isn't going to cut it.
If a certified accountant told me to do X, I'm covered (at least to the point they would assist in recovering, or I can get compensation through their insurance). If LLM tells me, I'm in a bigger problem.
In my area (Vermont) the going rate for a good CPA is $200/hr. Bookkeepers are $20-30/hr.
