Accountants or Superheroes? You Decide…

Accountants or Superheroes?

Being honest, no one hears accounting and thinks “wow! that’s got to be fun!”. There are no explosions, no villains (except for maybe tax law), and definitely no fights (unless you count audits). But behind every successful business is a calm, calculator-wielding hero crunching numbers and saving the day one set of financials at a time. Yes, we mean that literally.

So why would accountants be the most underrated superhero of all time?

  1. We Speak Fluent “Number Talk”

Give us a messy dataset and we’ll return financials cleaner than your browser history. Reconciliations, discrepancies and your data transactions—we wield these like Thor’s hammer.

  1. We See the Future (Kind Of)

Forecasting cash flow? Budget planning? Making money and you don’t know where its going? While accountants don’t have a magic crystal ball, we can take a deep look at you’re financials and help you come up with strategies and plans to help with financial issues and goals. We’re not good at predicting lottery numbers, that we can guarantee you. However, we can tell you exactly when you’re about to run into major issues with your bookkeeping and taxes.

  1. We Keep the Tax Monster at Bay

Taxes can be terrifying. And for some, the worst villain of all time. However, there are no better superheroes than well-knowledged accountants when it comes to limiting that villain. Armed with knowledge on deductions, credits, and the uncanny ability to stay calm while waiting for the IRS to take you off hold after hours of waiting.

  1. We Actually Like Balance

Regular chaos? Not in our office. We live for clean books, reconciled accounts, and that sweet, sweet moment when debits equal credits. It’s like financial ASMR. And our biggest secret is we love helping your business have less chaos in your books. We love to make it simpler for you, which in turn makes it easier for us. Ah, the simple calm relaxing appearance of well managed financial statement. And yes, we know you would have to be an accountant to actually find that relaxing.

  1. We Celebrate Year-End Like It’s New Year’s Eve

Confetti? No, probably not. Champagne? No, most of us prefer whiskey or tequila. But nothing beats the thrill of closing the books and starting fresh. And yes, we do throw a party to kick off summer and the end of another tax season. Accountants know how to let (some) things go.

So, the next time someone yawns when they hear the word “accounting,” remind them: without us, your business would be as lost as your Wi-Fi password. And if you need help, Senter, CPA is always here with our calculators ready to go, except for the Wi-Fi password that is, you’ll need IT for that!

 

Always remember, Senter, CPA is here for you if you need any assistance.
