There’s No Accounting For Taste In These “Accountant” Stock Photos

Posted on by Adrienne Gonzalez

Let's go ahead and call this one big caption contest.

All photos randomly grabbed from various stock photo websites, watermarks and all.

Without further ado, let's check out our first contender:

"Female accountant working in office"

Enough monkey business and let's get to crossfooting already!

"Accountant Goofy Chimp"

I have no idea what is going on here, nor can I think of a possible appropriate use for this particular stock photo. Also, I'm pretty sure HR isn't going to be happy about this.

"Accountant with a rifle"

This cannot possibly be an accountant because there is no calculator, bro.

"Happy business man or accountant reading documents at desk"

OMG THESE NUMBERS ARE BIG AND STUFF

"Pic of stressed accountant"

I would be angry too if I still had to use a dot matrix printer.

"This Is A Color Image Of An Angry Accountant Yelling Into His Retro Phone. He Has An Exasperated Look On His Face And An Unlit Cigarette In His Mouth. Wood Table White Background."

Well shit, there is no way to top that one.

More Grant Thornton Details: Declining Revenues, Raises in 2010, and Stephen Chipman Will Be Blogging

stephen chipman.jpgWe stumbled across the playback of the all-personnel call that went out to Grant Thornton professionals last Friday and we decided to give it a listen. It was about as snoozerific as we expected but we did come away with some additional information to share with you
Stephen Chipman, GT’s new CEO in the States spent about 40 minutes explaining the good the bad and the ugly at G to the T and here are some highlights:

• 81% of those survey and Grant Thornton are proud to work there. High? Low? Completely made up? Does this consider the Sue Sachdeva effect?

• Chip is going to be focusing on various new forms of communication including his own blog. This makes him the second CEO to do so, following Newman over at BDO. We hope, for your sake, that Chip won’t moderate the comments. We insist that you notify us of this as soon as it goes live.


• The new CEO got pretty somber when he described the prospects for GT’s revenue in FY 2010, stating revenues for core services were declining 11% year over year. Global Six…slipping…away.

• Because of this decline, it was decided that layoffs at the senior manager and partner level would occur (many have been notified already) along with those in the “internal client services function”.

• Despite the bad news, Steve-o did his best Bob Moritz, and made it clear: “We will be giving pay raises this summer.” He did qualify that this would be based on 1) the performance of the firm and 2) individual performance.

So that’s the long/short. Like we said, dude went on for 40 minutes and we didn’t have the thing transcribed to give it to you verbatim. If you happened to be one of the unfortunate senior managers, partners or support professionals that aren’t making the “next stage of the journey” get in touch with us about your experience.

For those that remain on team GT, discuss the big guy’s big promise of raises, the blog, revenue issues, etc.
