Are you one of those people who think
treasurers and accountants are boring? Well, you are not the only one. People all over the world share your opinion
and tend to assume that accountants and treasurers are more effective than the
average sleeping pill.
So we decided to bust this myth and to give you
some reasons why treasurers and accountants aren’t really boring.
- First of all, these people work with money! They have money (or data related to money) in their hands every day, day after day, for their whole life. Without acting like materialists, how can anything related to money be boring? Surely a lot of people have dreamt of having a job that fills their hands and lives with money! Well, that’s what accountants and treasurers have.
- Now take treasurers as a group. The name of their profession comes from ‘treasure’. How can anything related to treasure be boring? We grew up with books like ‘Treasure Island’ and filled the cinemas to watch ‘The Pirates of the Caribbean.’ These stories showed us people looking for treasure, but if you are a treasurer you get to find and guard the goods all the time.
- A lot of accountants and treasurers in fact have favourite accountancy jokes and are happy to share them with us: ‘An accountant is a person who doesn’t have the charisma to be an Undertaker’ or ‘Q: Why are they putting the accountants at the bottom of the ocean? A: They found out that deep down they are not so bad.’
- In fact, a lot of accountants or treasurers are just ordinary people with a great sense of humour who just happen to be interested in the things that we don’t want to bother with. Thank heavens for their perseverance and intelligence! Without them, we would be forced to deal with our own money or lack of it. Luckily someone has an eye on the numbers for us.
