02Could AI build it for you?

The core job: Import Xero/QuickBooks CSV/API data, calculate KPIs, build dashboards, and export PDF reports.

What a working version needs:

accounting exports/API
data model
chart/report builder
PDF export
hosted app
permissions

Interesting finance ops case: charting is easy, accounting semantics are harder.

03What you'd give up

accounting integrations
consolidation
templates
forecasting
report builder
advisor workflows
reliability

They pay because board/advisor reporting needs accuracy, comparability, and presentable output.
