How to Become an Accountant by Nick Asset (Trubador Publishing, £11.99)
Now, first off, we just want to say that we aren’t 100% sure if Nick’s surname really is Asset, but we will let that one go for now!
What we have here is a sweet little book about being an accountant. At 144 pages long it was no core to read, and in fact we have to admit we really enjoyed ourselves!
Our author left home very early, and found his life partner early too! Despite leaving home so young he took his parent’s suggestion of becoming an accountant to heart. This then is a very personal story, but one really worth reading.
I haven’t read a better book that explains what accountants actually do – good and bad. He also succinctly takes the reader through debits and credits, double entry and bank reconciliations – and does that really well too!
In truth I might have left out the fact that I skived off work for my 21st birthday, but Nick plays a very straight bat and we get his life warts and all.
I know Nick’s aim is to shake off the tag of ‘boring accountant’, and he says despite the realities he feels if you want to become an accountant you must “go for it”.
PQ rating 4/5. We will happily read ‘How to Become an Accountant- The aftermath’ too Nick!
