To be fair, I did at one point reconciliate a few issues in my general ledger using claude code. Gave it all the ledger entries for the period and the other data that would be necessary. Showed me exactly where the issue was and gave me an entry to make to correct it after the fact without going back and editing past data which could get messy. Still wouldn't trust it with my taxes though, that was just to get the end of year account balance to where I already knew it would have to be. Highly unlikely I'd end up being audited for accidentally showing 300 euros more profit than I actually made that year
