I’m looking to connect with developers that turn vibe coded POCs for enterprise into production level tools, with speed!

[Syed Hassan @Syed_hassan17]

Just heard Eric Schmidt say: We’re living in a time that people will write about for a thousand years; it’s the development of non-human intelligence.

Simple but profound.

Really makes you think if you should be doing anything other than reinventing and solving problems within your field of work.

@Lovable spotted at London Underground

[Syed Hassan @Syed_hassan17]

@Replit Is it available in the UK? Lots of Gov/defense/aerospace client require on-prem solutions.

[Syed Hassan @Syed_hassan17]

@lionel_mora Super awesome! Is it suitable for 4 year olds?

[Syed Hassan @Syed_hassan17]

@stovallATL Hey James! Looks like you’re doing some exciting work in the accounting AI adoption space. It’s a topic I’ve researched and written about a bit in the past few months. Would love to connect.

[Syed Hassan @Syed_hassan17]

@stovallATL @JTPellsCPA Agreed. Also, reconciliations, dashboards, financial analysis and due diligence work. You ca also add general business related activities to that. proposals, presentations, report writing etc.

[Syed Hassan @Syed_hassan17]

@shook_nick8340 @a_haigh_ @JTPellsCPA That’s true. For now. I’d say, today ai ca automate 20%-30% of total work across which isn’t bad but still early days. Will grow over coming months.

[Syed Hassan @Syed_hassan17]

Partially true. I work at one of the big4 in consulting but speak to many accountants who are doing this day in day out. I’d say overall efficiencies are between 20%-30% overall for firms. There will be some tasks that’ll get you higher % automation. This will only gt better from here.

If you’re interested in this topic, follow @mercor ‘s AI productivity in accounting benchmarks. Some real Alpha there for ai in accounting.

I write on this topic from time to time, happy to connect with others if it helps!

[Syed Hassan @Syed_hassan17]

@keithsalins_ @OmShejul @GodfreyFirm @OpIntelCompany Congrats! And I love the story behind the idea. I work at one of the big4 and write about AI in my personal capacity. Would love to know more about where you’re seeing most efficiencies and how you’re achieving close to 100% accuracy.

[Syed Hassan @Syed_hassan17]

Engineers won’t switch anytime soon. Most unfortunately look down on these tools. Which is a missed opportunity. These tools are best for non-technicals today and getting much much better for enterprise/small teams use cases. I see these maming a real impact in poc within consulting firms too. There’s an incredible amount of value to unlock there alone.

@soloopai Hey. Happy to chat. Lets connect on DMs.

[Syed Hassan @Syed_hassan17]

Vibe coding tools are getting better by the day. People who understand the problem should be the ones to build the solutions for them and these tools are doing a great job making that happen.

[Syed Hassan @Syed_hassan17]

On point Jensen.

Jensen Huang has a message for the UK

[Syed Hassan @Syed_hassan17]

Not at all. Most of these tools are great for end to end poc builds for enterprise and consultancy firms. Easier to build and deploy than Claude for non-technical knowledge workers. And that is exactly the market they’re targeting. These tools are filling the exact gap you’re referring to!

I particularly see @Replit used in many banks and top consultants for poc builds, not claude. Valuations is a different topic altogether.

[Syed Hassan @Syed_hassan17]

Yesterday, I spoke at the London Careers Conference at the London School of Economics (LSE).

Engaged with the next generation of finance and accounting professionals on career opportunities, industry expectations, and the evolving world of work.

A few common themes emerged that I believe are worth reflecting on, both for employers and those entering the profession:

1. Growing anxiety about the graduate job market

Many students expressed concerns about the increasingly competitive job market and the challenges of securing their first role. My advice was to start the application process early, seek relevant internships during spring/summer, start building professional networks, and do not underestimate the power of mock interviews and rehearsals.

2. Strong interest in accounting firms

Unsurprisingly, accounting firms remain an attractive career destination. Brand reputation, the value of professional networks, and the quality of training and development opportunities were among the key factors influencing students’ career choices.

3. Curiosity and uncertainty about AI and the future of the profession

Another recurring theme was how AI will reshape accounting and finance careers.

My advice was simply to opt in and get ahead of the change.

Experiment with tools like @Replit, @Lovable , and @claudeai today.

Don’t wait to get employed. Explore how these tools can be applied to your areas of professional interest.

Build risk management dashboards, prototype due diligence tools, or even vibe-code an investment screening application.

These tools have significantly improved over the past three to six months. You don’t need to become a software engineer. All you need at this stage is to develop practical familiarity with technologies that are already changing how we work.

Those who combine strong foundational knowledge with curiosity, adaptability, and technological fluency will be better positioned to stand out.

My biggest takeaway was that students aren’t short of ambition or curiosity. What they need is clearer guidance and mentorship. Programs like this do exa

If you’re an employer in Accounting, Investment Banking or Corporate Finance, running an internship program kindly reach out on DMs and I’ll connect you to some incredibly ambitious graduates.

@mmaazkhanhere Hey Maaz! I’m looking to develop benchmarks for specific tasks within accounting. Looking for people to collaborate with. Would love to connect.

@bingwu0522 Smart. Stealing it!
