Accountants and auditors score 35%. AI is useful for reconciliations, variance commentary and first drafts of reports, but sign-off, professional liability and client judgement keep a person in charge. Postings in Indeed’s accounting category are down 6% on a year ago, though still above their early-2020 level. Expect fewer hours of preparation and more of review.

How to read this: AI task coverage comes from the Anthropic Economic Index, which measures how people use Claude, not the whole labour market. Job postings data comes from Indeed Hiring Lab and reflects the wording of job ads, not actual AI use at work. Employment and pay are US figures unless stated. AI use is not the same as job loss; our verdict explains what we think it means.
