Accounting is a tradition as old as money itself. The earliest recorded evidence of accounting can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamia, and is closely related to the development of modern writing, counting, and money! Even the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians were performing audits – those pyramids must have cost a fortune to build… So you may not be surprised to hear that by the time of the Roman Empire, the government had access to detailed financial information. But modern accounting got its start with the writings of one man, Luca Pacioli, hailing from Italy. He was the first person to publish a book on double-entry bookkeeping, introducing his ideas to the Italian people. As a result, he is referred to as the “father of accounting and bookkeeping”. The official profession of chartered accountant actually originated in Scotland in the 1800s. Solicitors would often employ accountants to offer their services to clients. The first organized institute of modern accounting was formed in England in 1880, with the creation of the “institute of chartered accountants in England and Wales” And from there, the rest is history!

What a week that was! Firstly my heartfelt condolences go out to one of our Ambassadors this week following the sad passing of his dad. With that said and the community all coming together on his return to work this Thursday, by being at The Thursday Edition of our weekly networking, this event was swamped with love for a man who we all admire because of how much he brings unselfishly to The Association. We all wanted to let him know just how much we support him in his time of need and what a way to show that, by having so many on the call.. Thank you to all those in attendance and to all those that sent messages to me to pass on.

Pfffft. Accounting can't be that hard – I’ll just do it myself. To this brave soul, we wish you the best of luck :) Accountants are trained professionals, who are there to help you navigate and strategize your finances. A good accountant will have strong business acumen, and will understand the ins and outs of a variety of businesses. A good accountant will also display strong computer literacy, making use of advanced accounting software to work efficiently. Lets not forget, too, that mathematical skills and a knack for data analysis are a must. So if you are… lacking… in any of those departments, you may consider hiring an accountant this tax season. Your wallet will thank you :)

It's a wonder that they never taught us how to do our taxes in school… Probably because the tax man wants you to slip up – so he can come and take your hard earned money! We are here to make sure that doesn’t happen. In fact, when planned correctly, you can even get some money back during tax season. Interested in learning how to make that happen? Got some questions about your tax returns? Drop us a question in the comments below, and we’ll be happy to share our knowledge and keep you in the green!
