it’s not just the numbers

software is always changing, and new products come to market quicker than ever before. twenty-five years ago, software such as quickbooks, peachtree, accpac and mas changed how we did accounting. ledger books became a thing of the past as we could now review ledgers on a computer screen. in the last nine years, cloud-based systems have radically changed accounting once again.

special for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

“what gets scheduled, gets done” is something i recently heard an accountant say. when it comes to feeling bogged down, there are no truer words in my opinion, but how many practitioners actually carve out time to just get unstuck?
