2022世界杯足球排名 today<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nso, you think you know accountants? let\u2019s start with the members of the canadian metal band ken mode (short for kill everything now mode). they\u2019ve been a band for over 20 years, have toured, and produced multiple albums; nearly all are accounting professionals. the group\u2019s founding members, brothers shane (drums) and jesse matthewson (guitars and lead vocals), as well as their newest member kathryn kerr (saxophone, synth, piano, percussion, backing vocals), are all accountants.<\/p>\n
shane, a cpa, ca, and jesse are accountants at their family firm mkm management services out of winnipeg. the firm provides business management, finance, accounting, income tax, business planning, and grant writing services, focusing on full-time artist\/entertainment\/music companies.<\/p>\n
kathryn, a professional bookkeeper, is the owner of tonic financials (also from winnipeg). she focuses on monthly bookkeeping, tax prep, bookkeeping setup work, and financial consulting for artists and musicians.<\/p>\n
all of them claim that they can have a work\/life balance (and use of cloud technology and modern applications) that allows them to be full-time professional accountants and touring and recording musicians. they play some of the angriest and heaviest music when they\u2019re not behind the desk helping fellow musicians, artists, and those involved in the music industry. seeing them live or listening to songs like \u201cdoesn\u2019t feel the pain like he should,\u201d \u201cyour heartwarming story makes me sick,\u201d \u201cthe ugliest happy you\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d and \u201cthe desperate search for an enemy,\u201d the word \u201caccountant\u201d would be the last thing you\u2019d think of.<\/p>\n
still don\u2019t believe me? check out the video at the top of this post.<\/p>\n
then there\u2019s scott scarano, an accountant specializing in business and individual tax planning, irs and local representation, full-service payroll, bookkeeping\u2026and rap. that\u2019s right, besides being an accountant, entrepreneur, and podcaster, scott is a rapper. he regularly shares his rhymes on social media and can often be seen donning his signature backward baseball cap and gold necklaces.<\/p>\n
like the members of ken mode, music is an outlet for scott, but it has become (whether intentional or not) a differentiating factor and one of the many things that make him one of the changing faces of accounting.<\/p>\n
admittedly, scott only took to making accounting-centric raps at the beginning of this year, but it is already catching on among his fellow accountants. in his words, \u201ci\u2019m still figuring if accountants are going to take to this, hip hop and rap is the younger gen\u2019s rock music, and i know it appeals to them, but my main goal was asking how can you make accounting fun?\u201d he derives many of his raps from the hip-hop artist eminem, who he became a fan of back in high school.<\/p>\n
\u201cit\u2019s what i know and love, just like accounting,\u201d he says. \u201ci am also working on something around what i learned from simon sinek\u2019s \u2018infinite game.\u2019 \u201caccounting needs to be fun and accessible, just like the raps that i do.\u201d<\/p>\n
here\u2019s a sample of what scott regularly shares with his fellow accountants:<\/p>\n
