Work It Out with a Pencil: Outrageous Tales from Twenty Years as an Accountant

The aim of this book is to illustrate that not all accountants are boring, monotone dullards that achieve their thrills in life at the bottom of a balance sheet or by completing income tax returns. It is the author’s hope that this book provides an insight into the world of finance from the perspective of someone who lived it for over twenty years. The stories are illustrated to prove that some, but admittedly not all, accountants can find themselves in humorous situations that do not involve the reader needing a crash course in bookkeeping or industrial-strength medication to endure such an ordeal.
