So to answer your question, the winners will be those that can implement the tech in the short-term. In the long term, we may all be fricked but time will tell.

I do think Accounting will be somewhat protected in the short run because the application layer for AI is still lacking. It's great that KPMG just signed a big deal with Anthropic. How many audit or core tax managers & seniors can actually built an agent or setup a dev environment for Claude Code? And if you say "the firm's in-house IT guys will build the Agents / AI-powered internal tools", my response will be "Have you ever actually worked with those guys?" And it is even worse the further down the food chain you go. I'd love to see a boomer partner at, say, Carr Riggs & Ingram build something in Replit.

I've also found accounting firms to be particularly lousy at technology adoption / integration. Having spent 4 years in Big 4 and 10ish years at national firm / near peers I lost count of the botched and half-assed implementations I witnessed. Curious if others have had similar experiences.

All that said, the kids in Accounting / Internal Audit right now really need to build the foundational and functional skills to utilize LLMs to their full potential. I encourage the youngsters to build a projects portfolio similar to what SWEs and Data Analysts have to do. This will be key to advancement and eventually survival.

Florence's main market has some incredible places. IIRC the restaurants are on the 2nd floor. Hotel staff (who sent us there) said those places were all locally owned. Great option for lunch.

I think the problem everyone is getting at is broader than nepotism. Rather, Louisiana is absolutely lousy with parochialism. New Orleans, with its "Where did you grow up / go to High School" dynamic exudes a particularly blatant and overt parochialism, but Shreveport, Acadiana and BR are just as bad (BR used to be a little more egalitarian and meritocratic; maybe too many New Orleanians moved to BR). Parochialism repels outsiders - and the economic activity they bring - at a time when Louisiana desperately needs a demographic, cultural and fiscal boost.

My guess is Dent or Dr Arkham (Brad Pitt was previously rumored for that character).
