Sounds to me the existing jobs are more skilled than the former ‘accounting clerks’ which just sounds like data entry people.
Back in the day my mom used to do the books for the grocery store she worked for and all she really did was tally up all the data from the multiple cash registers and send it off to the corporate accountants. Not a whole lot of skill needed aside from attention to detail to ensure the totals were correct.
