Mid-career, this Accountant stumbles across a finance position working for an international company. This discovery opens up an entirely new way of looking at accounting roles. This is then expanded even further when a mid-life "assessment" forces him to consider the big question; "What do I want written about my life, was it worth it, did it make a difference?" And so begins a fresh chapter, exploring the world of charity and voluntary work, but using his hard-won accounting expertise to make just that difference. Plenty of stories, adventures and mishaps ensue. The stories could be entertaining in their own right, but the lessons learned along the way, are all obvious and generally known, but surprisingly missing from a twenty something's education! This book serves to explore some of these universal truths. The hope is that by reading some of these, one could avoid much of the growing pains most of us experience in our working lives, regardless of whether you are an Accountant.
