Spilling Beans on Bean Counters

We don't know what we don't know. Until someone tells us! 

Large accounting firms are notoriously secretive about how their businesses are run. Every so often we'll get an inside look at the inner workings and that's always fun because I'm sure they'd prefer we'd rather not know.

Last week, we discovered an a couple of Q&As with a CFO of a law firm who cut his teeth in public accounting, including stints at Rothstein Kass and Grant Thornton. As far as I know, it's the most highest level of bean spilling on bean counters we've ever read.

Enjoy the read and have a great week.
