I'm a CPA. When I started learning code, I looked for whatever was most like a spreadsheet. R for the bill, with built-in frames.

Oh.. similar line for me, accounting/tax law. Excel is bread and butter because all year end fianncials are prepared and finalised on excel. Although I have used libreoffice on my personal machine, it also kinda works.

For a couple of years I have tried to excel macro myself a balance sheet template which does most of the copy pasting from precious years, does bank interest calculations and all.

It would be interesting to know how does a us CPA work because its all accounting package>excel>efile.
