# Accounting Firms

*/CompanyTypes/Accounting_Firms*

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: digital
**Digital**: 0.8
**Rationale**: With no seeded child components, the scalar is derived directly from the LENS prior for the company type name. "Accounting Firms" primarily employ knowledge workers performing software-based information transformation and financial analysis. This aligns with the hybrid-trending-digital prior (0.55–0.85) for finance and legal firms, placing it firmly in the digital band.
