AI로 Expense Categorisation 자동화하기

Most business owners view expense categorisation as a compliance chore, but I see it as a data integrity problem. Humans are notoriously inconsistent; you might categorise a software sub as 'IT' in January and 'Marketing' in February. AI solves this through a 'Consistency Layer.' It doesn't get bored or tired, meaning your Profit & Loss statement actually reflects reality instead of your bookkeeper's mood that Tuesday. However, don't fall for the '100% automated' trap. AI is brilliant at 'What' (the vendor), but it can't always know the 'Why' (the business intent). For example, a dinner at a restaurant could be 'Staff Welfare' or 'Client Entertainment'—two very different tax treatments. I advise my clients to automate 90% and use a 'High-Value Review' framework for the remaining 10% of ambiguous transactions. We are moving toward 'Zero-Touch Accounting.' If your receipt is digital, there is no reason a human should ever touch it. If you're still typing numbers from a screen into another screen, you're essentially acting as a very expensive, very slow API. Stop doing that.
