The bottom line

Roughly 90% of the work in Account for taxes is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.

Why: With no child occupations seeded, this scalar is derived from the PCF lens ('Manage taxes', a subset of financial resources) and the process description (managing financial accounts and preparing tax records). Because accounting and taxation are pure knowledge work centered entirely on information transformation, the focus sits firmly in the high digital band.
