That just sounds like the company is (badly) lagging frankly - almost all the companies I worked with phased out paper around a decade back with stragglers being ~2015

At this stage I'd welcome any automation in the accounting space but efforts I've seen thus far have not been promising. Domain specific software is tricky - either you get SWE in then they don't know the domain, or the opposite then the code is garbage. That gap means endless meetings and committees about requirements and end user testing in practice even for the most trivial of automations.

Outsourcing is way more likely to kill accounting jobs.
