Accountants should be the ones running the companies. Mine is run by them, and it's great. There are some incredible perks, like always knowing the company is financially in a very good place and taking appropriate risks, a culture of transparency and collaboration ... I could go on.
- zamnos 4y agoFirst time I've heard a positive review about a company being run by the bean counters, who are generally more known for being brought in and cutting tiny luxuries which don't generate money or make financial sense, like free sodas in the break room.

- TimTheTinker 4y agoThey're accountants, but I wouldn't call them "bean counters". They have a vision for the office of the CFO, and it's that the accounting team rises above mere bean counting into financial leadership. The company was also a VC-backed startup and is on the road to IPO, so it's run like an investment, not a cost center -- and hiring and keeping great employees is a priority. The perks and benefits are really great. It has won awards for the last ~5 years for being the "best company to work for in $region".
