 is it true that the dumbest people within every organization are the
bookkeepers and accountants? it sure seems so!

Unfortunately, some short-sighted business owners view accounting as
unnecessary overhead, so they hire the least educated, lowest paid people
they can find. On the other hand, smart business owners know that
accountants are worth their weight in gold and hire they best they can find.

Which group do you fall into?

i fall into the group that does not hire overqualified people for a
bonehead job. besides, smart people get bored and quit if you punish
them by forcing them to book keep all day.

I am sure it will surprise you to know that among all professions CPAs
consistently rank in the top 3 in intelligence.

By the way, your confusing bookkeeping with accounting demonstrates your
lack of understanding of both bookkeeping and accounting.

If you pay them enough and have any respect for them they won't quit.

what poll is this? the self-serving CPA society poll?

Percent of harvard grads who are CPAs = 0, I bet!

this brings me to my other question. why does every accountant deny
he is a bookkeeper? embarassed about his job?
