Well, I'm a bean counter by profession, although my heart was never in it. For me it was an excellent living. I can attest to the fact that bean counters are shortsighted and should never be put in charge of any company or corporation. Where they are put in charge, they quickly save instant thousands at the price of future millions. Their mindset is not marketing or growing a business; it is cutting expenses and increasing revenues.
All my remarks are generalities; not every bean counter acts this way, and I am living proof. But general as it is, there is a lot of truth to tthree's and others' criticisms of the accounting profession's perspective as to how to run a business.
