Well technically I'm not officially an accountant because I never went on to get my CPA designation. But I've got the education and job description. I mostly went into it because I'm good with math and computers, and every business needs a bookkeeper.
I think you're more likely to find leftists among accountants than in other business-education fields because accountants have to deal with the real world. It's not like modern economics where one can make up whatever bullshit one wants in order to please one's paymasters.
Hey hi howdy. I happen to be in the process of starting a business, do you think you could share some recommendations and/or guidance on how the accounting side of a small business is done?
Also if business takes off, my #1 goal is to hire comrades and turn it into a workers' coop.
Best advice I can give is to take a formal intro-to-bookkeeping course. It's not hard to learn basic double-entry accounting but there are some subtleties to it that a self-taught approach might not prepare you for.
Thank you!
