Who the fuck needs an accountant anymore? They don't really speak to anyone, they never have any good news to tell anyone, and what is supposed to be their primary job (crunching numbers) has been effectively replaced decades ago with the advent of calculators and spreadsheet software.
I will definitely wager that all these companies complaining about the high cost of hiring/maintaining quality personnel, have never bothered to account that their accountants cost more. And rather than having a fleet of accountants who then take a full fiscal quarter to find out and tell the board of directors that they went from having a surplus of income to being billions of dollars in debt (which is what prompts such crazy, panicky decision making), to using some spreadsheet scripting to give them daily (if not real-time) summary reports of economic performance?
I don't care if the accounts are crunched by an english speaking person or a Phillippino or a Hindu person - they're not the ones speaking to me, and math is a universal language. The people that actually interface with the client/customer/guest? Of course I want them to be speaking the same language(s). 
Haven't we learned a damned thing from Enron? Accountants are worse than the damned board of directors for screwing over a company. -- Front Line Force Fortress Forever |
