About the Book

I wrote the first edition long before I went on the Path of the Peacemaker- The Iroquois Legend. When first published in 1975 I had founded Second City in Toronto but that is another story. Just ask Andrew Alexander. For the past 47 Years I have been on an adventure that will be covered in the Sequel to this Book. This book is a book of humor even though the Tax department insisted that it was a notebook. I won my case and was exempt from excise tax in Canada. The sequel will introduce you to information you do not know you do not know, this book is the introduction.

Customer Reviews

Lyman Macinnes originally reviewed this book in CA Magazine - twice.

Lyman MacInnis
Here are some common misconceptions about accounting: Accounting is full of boring people who love nothing better than a spreadsheet. Only bigger businesses need accounting. Accounting is really expensive. Accountants mainly just balance your books. Accountants aren’t really up to date with internet entrepreneurship, so they won’t really get the needs of my business. Accountants exclusively deal with taxes. Accountants are natural math whizzes. Accounting is boring. Only introverts enjoy accounting.

A friend of mine, Mitchell Gold, wants me to write a review of his “book.” It has an attractive cover and an intriguing title, (Why Accounting is not Boring), but the inside is all blank pages. Essentially no content. I tried to tell Mitch that there was nothing to review but he was insistent.
That night, I began to realize that the “book” was more of an artifact that reflected his life. Mitch is all about the exterior, the cover if you will. He dresses in a white, monkish gown. Around his neck are strings of beads and amulets. Seeing Mitch, people assume he is a spiritual guru or at least a holy man on a spiritual quest. Mitch does have his spiritual practises but I’m at a loss to say what they are, just as I’m at a loss to say much about his book.
I have known Mitch for forty years. He seems to live in an illusory world, but one he’s aware of. Currently he is wrapped up in a scheme that will net him one hundred and fifty million dollars. He’s always is in the midst of some such scheme usually promising, but never delivering, millions of dollars.
I can’t say the book is about nothing. It is nothing. I am reminded of Emily Dickinson’s poem, “I’m nobody! Who are you?” And in truth the book does seem to reflect a truth about all of us. Maybe as I reflect further on it, I sense that old age – I’m eighty-eight - is busy erasing the content of my world. Often, I wake up in the morning questioning what has become of my life.
My final thought, Mitch, is I think your “book” not only is a reflection of your life, but ultimately, all of our lives as we age.
This afternoon, I showed the book to a friend and she, like me, was intrigued. “Accounting is not Boring” is a book I’m happy to have in my library.

Accounting work used to be boring. Accountants are still often thought of as boring number crunchers, but the truth is that accounting can be an exciting and challenging profession. Accounting requires creative and analytical skills and the ability to work with numbers and financial statements.
While accounting was all about crunching numbers and maintaining financial records, times have changed.
Accountants are no longer just number crunchers- They are critical thinkers and problem solvers using their skills to help businesses thrive. Today's accountants use cutting-edge technology to streamline their workflows and deliver insights that help businesses make smarter decisions.
Thanks to new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing, accountants can provide more value than ever. AI is being used to automate repetitive tasks, freeing up accountants' time so they can focus on higher-value work. Cloud computing allows accountants to access data and tools from anywhere, at any time.
