Portrait of Kirill Gabelev

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

An accountant, learning to build.

Kirill Gabelev is an accountant with 20+ years in close systems, workpapers, and multi-client accounting. He spent his career making the close tie out. Now he's learning, testing, and building with AI — so accountants stay relevant and strong as the work changes, instead of getting left behind by it.

Emergent Ledger is that journey in public: what he learns about agents and evals, turned into lessons, independent platform reviews, and small working tools for accountants like himself.
