Dear Donut - An Accountant's Struggle

Not all accountants struggle with donuts, but this one does. #humor #humour

Dear Donut - An Accountant's Struggle

Dear Donut, Our relationship goes back a long way. I feel like you’ve become a big part of me. You used to be such a treat, but now, I fear you’ve become a bad habit. Three-thirty in the afternoon rolls around and suddenly you’re there, demanding my attention. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. I don’t know how to say this without hurting your feelings, but let’s face it. You lied to me. You were supposed to be a snack, a burst of energy, a friend to carry me through until dinner. But that’s not what happened. Sure, the anticipation of meeting you was exquisite. Your softness against my lips. Your sweet taste . . . But I digress. The sad thing was that after all that foreplay, you didn’t hold up your end of the bargain. After you were...Read More

You are in a Staples store and you notice a bright young woman milling about the accounting and bookkeeping software. She asks a clerk which one they’d recommend as she’s new to bookkeeping. He chooses one of the top selling packages saying, “A lot of people seem to like this one.” Sold. But before our shopper proceeds to checkout she tells our clerk that she has to stop by the printing department and pick up her new business cards. “Business cards you say. That sounds exciting. New business?” asks the clerk. “Yes.” “What kind of work do you do?” “I’m launching a bookkeeping business. I’m kinda good with numbers and thought I’d give it a try.” Now I don’t know about you, but if I saw something like that it would send shivers down my...Read More

Cost-saving tips for small firms

Cost-saving tips for small firmsFrom renegotiating contracts to hiring part-time staff, these suggestions can help boost the bottom line.By Samiha Khanna There are more ways to save money at a small firm than ordering bulk toner cartridges. Even minor tweaks to daily processes can increase your firm’s efficiency and, in turn, boost your bottom line. For Ashton Ferrin, CPA, of Park City, Utah, any expenditure must meet one condition—it has to benefit his clients. “I opened my own firm last year, and from day one, I’ve been very conscious about necessary expenses,” said Ferrin, a sole proprietor. “My practice is about service to the clients, not me. So my office expenses have been extremely low.” Ferrin built his own desk at Big...Read More

September is back to school season here in Canada. All of those minds that were drowned in Slurpees and baked in the sun are now dragged back into class to slowly repair themselves. I think this is a great time for us bookkeepers to do the same. Why should the kids get all the fun, right? How many of you have used the line "I wish I could go back to school" or "you have no idea how easy you've got it at school" on your kids when they were complaining about 15 minutes of homework while you were finishing up another 12 hour day? Yep...me too! Well, then let's put our money (and time) where our mouths are and do this. Let's face it, bookkeeping has changed a lot over the past 10-20 years.

15 Things Successful People Do On Monday Mornings

Apr. 21, 2014, 9:23 AM164,29815 Mark Thompson/Getty ImagesOne thing successful people do Monday morning: They wake up early and exercise. Monday mornings are the most critical time of the workweek — they set the stage for the day and week ahead. “Because you’ve stepped away for a couple days, these back-to-work mornings are the most memorable for the rest of the week,” says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and the author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job." “They influence your mindset in a positive or negative way, depending on what actions you decide to take,” Taylor says.
