Lady, they don't look at is as a burden.

I wouldn't be doing this if it were a burden. If I have a client that becomes a burden, I fire them.

Expenses are one-half of the accounting equation. Reducing them is the same as earning the same amount. Some exceptions apply, of course.

Now I am convinced that you flunked out of advanced accounting and you have an axe to grind. You couldn't handle accounting for business combinations?

if an expert accountant can make every company profitable, why doesn't every company hire themselves some brilliant accountants and become RICH? why does General Motors hire themselves some better accountants so they can compete against Toyota?!

With all due respect, Paul. Go and read what these FORMER accountants are doing AFTER graduating from HBS. None of them practice accounting after graduating from Harvard. The typical career path is as follows:

1) undergrad degree from podunk state U. 2) did some auditing work, earn CPA 3) really hated job as CPA so decided to quit and go back to B school 4) graduate from Harvard 5) enter a lucrative field such as investments or management. Never audit again!

I've heard worse, so you have to polish up on your insults if you want to make any impact.

None at all. Not even script.

Yeah, the exceptions are being seen at Circuit City, where they fired all their experienced salespeople thinking they could cut costs with low-pay newbies who didn't need to know anything. It backfired.

since when is "management consulting" and "valuations" the same as ACCOUNTING? it is clear that this guy was so sick of he accounting job at D&T that he had to go back to HBS in order to change out of accounting into a better career as a management consultant!

But he's not proud of his auditing function. Notice how he says "he ALSO performs audits" as if this is a dirty, demeaning job -- sort of like how the maid "ALSO has to clean the toilet and make love to the horney husband" as a downside of the job.

i'm not surprised. most accountants I know don't do drugs, dance, or stay up beyond 9:30pm.

how about they fire all the top salespeople and replace them with more accountants. that way they would have no revenues but at least the accountants could cut all their cost, amortize expenses over 25 years, and cut checks to each other?

maybe the university of llinois can fire all those useless engineering and finance and marketing professors, and hire more accountants. if they can graduate 1,000,000 cpas every year, US GNP would go up because the accountants can show us how to cut expenses by cost reallocation and amortization over 100 years.

but an aspirin at the doctor's office would bill out at $2595.95 a tablet.
