Beans Beans BeanEvery year a whole slew of peeps ask me if I am willing to do their taxes. As I work as an accountant all day, everyday, I tend to be quite tired of accountantcy once I am home. So I do my friends’ takes grudgingly, with the proviso that I require a meal in return [...]

So was the plaintive cry of one of my co-workers who couldn’t get her Balance Sheet to balance. Madness, I know.. the very structure of a Balance Sheet means that it will balance. For several centuries now the core premise of accounting is the double-entry system — for every debit there must be a credit. [...]

I had such great fun today in the office, oh how I danced and flitted about from file to file.
My co-worker, who is responsible for cash applications, cleared about parts of Accounts Receivable this past Friday. Unfortunately, she cleared out the wrong items. My Accounts Receivable is in a huge mess, for reporting purposes, and [...]

I was informed by my assistant today that she’s been fielding a number of phone calls from Account and Creative people with regards to Purchase Orders and vendor invoices. When my assistant tells these individuals that they need to speak to me, they’d rather not, and would rather deal with the Production Accounting Manager.
Why this [...]

Well, I am nearly done with my quarter-end responsibilities. And a few things have cropped up, which I just have to share.
The twat is as incompetent as ever. When I asked for her cash applications folder for March her first question/statement was – why? I have balanced the cash, it’s all accounted for. Needless to [...]

… seems Twat has done her cash applications in an extremely odd way, and if it is to be corrected *I* have to do 3 journal entries where if she just reversed what she did and would re-do it the whole situation would be cleared up.
The problem, in this case my A/R is not accrutately [...]

.. Twat has given up trying to do any semblance of work. I received a copy of the bank statement for last week and was asked to do some cash allocation journal entries. The love does continue to fester and turn towards apathy, let me tell you.

.. I was having an interesting conversation with Geeklawyer a few weeks ago with regards to blogs with particular slants – for example, his blog is the mental meanderings of a British Barrister which is followed by many individuals in the legal profession throughout the world. My blog is primarily that of a madcap accountant, [...]

.. actually there isn’t any, I’m just bored to tears and thought I’d put up a blog entry.
We are currently working on our Q1 forecast and I’ve had a jolly good laugh today, at the expense of my co-workers.
-Beanie, how do I reforecast my interco cost allocation that you are charging me? I think it’s [...]
