The Enlightened Accountant

In the modern world, things change so fast that after a blink of an eye the world seemed changed. Few things remained unchanged and one of these is accounting. Of course few frameworks have been created over the 20th century to tackle issues such as fraud and transparency. Indeed, although the basic method of accounting remained the same, many people do not approach the discipline and look at it almost with a skeptical eye. As if the understanding of it is reserved to few wise men, part of a small circle. These men use their own language to communicate. This language so strange and intriguing gives offspring to the financial organization of any business, small or big, individual or multinational. In this book we are going to burst this myth. After working for few years in the Accounting and Finance Field as Financial Analyst and Assistant Controller I understood that many times accountants do not want to be understood. My aim instead, is to make Financial Accounting accessible to anyone.

They said it couldn't be done, but The Accountant's Guide to the Universe is the first entertaining book on accounting written for a general audience. The book opens with a wild premise: Heaven and Hell have been outsourced to a giant company in a distant galaxy and they are now in charge of determining who goes where after death. The entire universe is scoured for an objective system that can be adapted to the task, and it is found, in the form of accounting, in the least civilized backwater of the universe, Earth! The book is also a morality tale. It demonstrates how financial scandals (a la Bernie Madoff and many others) can be pulled off with "creative accounting," and how much a person adds or subtracts from the universe by their actions. Written for anybody who has taken an accounting class, practices it for a living, or is simply interested in seeing how a system designed to record finances can also be used to judge the entire universe will be enlightened by The Accountant's Guide to the Universe.

Accountants have it tough..... and it's getting tougher. They fulfill THE most important function of any business, which is to manage their finances. They have to ensure that they are compliant and help their clients to make better decisions about the future based on what has happened in the past. So you'd think that their clients would be singing their praises, throwing money at them for the great job that they do and bending over backwards to meet their demands. But is that the reality? Not even close. The reality is that accountants are seen as a necessity and their services aren't valued to the extent that they should be. How do I know? Because I've been doing it with brave firms of forward thinking accountants who have been bold enough to acknowledge that the world of accounting has changed; accountants who joined the profession, through wanting to provide value and who are sick of it being reduced to a necessity; accountants who are sick of putting up with crap from clients, and not getting paid enough for a service that's so challenging to deliver. So if you're ready to discover how to solve this problem... let's go.
