"To stay ahead of the curve, Chan picked up vibe coding, using AI tools to write code and build apps. The audit partner at an accounting and advisory firm in Malaysia said he stumbled on vibe coding in June after attending weekend coding workshops in Singapore and Malaysia. Despite having no technical background, Chan built a web app to solve a pain point in his professional life: filing expense claims after business trips."
"The app uses AI-powered optical character recognition to scan and process receipts, automatically exporting them into files for his company's finance teams. He's also using AI to automate his workflow, such as generating invoices. "This code is a bunch of JavaScript, which obviously I don't understand," he said, showing Business Insider his web app. "Without the vibe coding tools and the skill set, an accountant is unable to do this," he added."
Wei Khjan Chan has worked as an accountant for more than 18 years and felt pressure as AI threats to accounting grew. He learned vibe coding and began using AI tools to write code and build apps despite having no technical background. He attended weekend coding workshops and built a web app that uses AI-powered optical character recognition to scan receipts and export files for finance teams. He also automates workflows like generating invoices. He considers AI know-how a fundamental office skill comparable to Excel and notes that prototyping is now much faster.
