They assume it’s nerdy excel spreadsheets that relate strictly to numbers and tax issues that have no relation to the business world. The owner of my small company has no idea that I have been studying a vast array of topics relating to every aspect of managing and running a business. For instance, I remembered the “Grandfather, Father, Son” rule of backing up data and randomly mentioned it in a meeting involving IT people and their mouths hit the floor. They were shocked that the Controller knew anything about IT functions. I was pretty annoyed.
I just feel like the CPA prepares you to run not only be a great accountant, but also gives you the necessary knowledge to run a business successfully. Unfortunately for me, the owner doesn’t realize this and pigeon holes me into only an accountant. Oh well…life goes on.
