\"invisible<\/a>what is more important to you, how you look or how good the work is?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

by ed mendlowitz<\/i>
\ncall me before you do anything: the art of accounting<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

early on in my career, i was assigned to work with a manager on a half-dozen monthly clients.<\/p>\n

more:<\/b> staffers need to speak up with clients<\/a> | when writeups went extinct<\/a> | kennedy\u2019s acceptance speech<\/a>
\n\"goprocpa.com\"exclusively for pro members. <\/span><\/strong>log in here<\/a> or 2022世界杯足球排名 today<\/a>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

he went with me and worked on the main company while i worked alongside him on the baby company. the baby company was much smaller and\u00a0usually was for a second line the client had. i did the writeup and prepared the financial and other statements for the current month and year to date.
\n
\nthe manager told me what to do, kept an eye on my progress and offered\u00a0suggestions to speed me along. occasionally when i finished the financial statement,\u00a0he would point to a number and say that it looked wrong. i rechecked my work and corrected it. he was always right, and whenever i had an error, he spotted it in a matter of seconds. i was awed by his intelligence and thought he was the smartest accountant there ever was.<\/p>\n

after about a year he gave notice that he was leaving. he always refused to tell me how he spotted my errors so quickly, and because he was\u00a0leaving, i asked him to tell me how he did it. he said it was very simple \u2013 he scanned the monthly differences and compared them to the average for the year, and when something was out of whack he figured it was wrong.<\/p>\n

it sounded so simple, and i asked him why he didn\u2019t tell me sooner so i could have found the errors myself, saving us both time. he replied that if he did that, i would not think he was as smart as i thought he was. at that moment i realized that he was a jerk.<\/p>\n

also at that time, i resolved that when i was in a position of authority, my job would be to train the person i was supervising to have them do the best job possible, including how to check their work so i would not have to spend time i did not have to spend. i felt that if my subordinates did great work, felt great about themselves and were promoted, it didn\u2019t matter whether they thought i was smart or not. it was the results that were important to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
