As an adjunct
accounting professor, I taught
Intermediate Accounting at Oklahoma
City University and even had one
of my students win the Gold Medal.
Accounting made sense to me, so
teaching accounting principles
seemed second hand. Bookkeeping
and financial statement preparation
can be pretty cool work for a
real accountant, too. Depending
upon the software, firm procedures
and client cooperation, accounting
can be fun or drudgery. At my
firm, I think it’s fun.
Not too surprising, the folks
I hang out with are accountants,
too. What a sight to see –
eyeglasses, conversations about
billable hours ad nauseum, tax
discussions and arguments over
which code section that novel
bit of chicanery involved, or
that client or job from Hades.
YES, the stereotype lives! Without
a doubt, our technical opinions
differ from time to time. There
is no doubt that as individuals
these accountants are enlightened,
smart and hardworking people,
yet it’s safe to say that
the “schtick” in each
practice varies. Diverse in many
ways, in many ways we are the
SAME.
Nevertheless, a common discussion
thread in our group regards Windows
accounting software – Windows
write-up software. In total agreement,
we all opine that there is not
a lot to be said over choices
in better (and new) write-up software.
Creative Solutions? WS2
was DOS king, and their CSA offering
followed on with hardly a variation
in theme, while few other developers
were threatening to write anything
to compete.
Well, I’m here to happily
report to all that competition
has arrived, and the state of
write-up software together with
it’s new entrants is here
to present real opportunities
for accountants and their firms
to provide better and more efficient
services. EXCITING, new and improved
programs. But what does this mean
for you? Well, we hope you won’t
merely just stay tuned. Instead,
order a trial of a (new-to-you)
write-up program. Then, toss your
ideas and “fixed”
procedures to the wind.
For the FUTURE OF WRITE-UP IS
NOW, and, with it, accounting
practices – your practice
– can be enabled to provide
new or different services in ways
we only dreamed were possible
before.
