How dull is your accountant?
As stereotypes go, accountants seem to get it hard. From maths geeks to dull and boring I have heard them all.
Yes, we may be good with numbers but that certainly isn’t a bad thing as I hope our clients agree. Our numeracy skills have been able to help keep client’s taxation as low as possible – legally and correctly of course.
Boring? Well I can’t deny there are some boring accountants out there however I like to think our firm is vibrant and full of individuals who are passionate about what we do with the aim of being a support to our clients. We want to be actively involved in our client’s business building up strong relationships.
I have put together 5 interesting facts about accounting that you may not have known. Will it change your opinion on accountants?
- Eddie Izzard, Mick Jagger and Robert Plant all worked in accountancy pre fame
- Bubblegum was invented by an accountant
- It was accountants who initially brought down Al Capone when he was arrested for tax evasion
