The scope of financial services is pretty broad right. And it's not always about the raw data. So much of it seems to be 'how do we tell the story we want to tell with the numbers we have'. I say this as someone who hangs out with people that work with the big 4 but honestly I have little clue about the day to day. They seem to do analysis, the client will say that doesn't vibe with what they want to tell shareholders, and they will go back and forth to come up with something in the middle.

I thought at first it meant stuff like bookkeeping and taxes and got excited…the most boringly mind numbing work that’s still not quite that easy to automate. I’m guessing that too will come soon enough.
