Why AI Can't Replace Accountants: Dyron Bush on Tax Errors and Human Judgment | Dyron Bush | EP 122
AI is changing accounting, but technology still needs human judgment to get the numbers right. In this episode of Behind Closed Books, Craig Sheets sits down with Dyron Bush, Senior Tax Consultant at M&A Business Advisors, CEO of Theogeny Financial, tax strategist, accountant, financial consultant, and host of the Mechanics of Money podcast, to discuss how AI is changing accounting and why experienced professionals still matter. Dyron shares real examples of where technology can help and where it can go wrong, including a scanning error that created an incorrect million-dollar tax refund. He explains why AI should be treated as a useful tool rather than a replacement for professional judgment, and why accountants still play a critical role in reviewing financial information, finding errors, and helping clients make better decisions.
