Profit is an illusion, cash flow is fact.
—Unknown
What helps people, helps business.
—Leo Burnett, founder of Leo Burnett Worldwide ad agency
A small profit is better than a big loss.
—Ron Rash, poet, short story writer, and novelist
Mention the word accounting, and otherwise competent business men and
women suddenly grit their teeth, furrow their foreheads, and start uncontrollably
pulling out chunks of their own hair. Why is this? How can a craft, which is
nothing more than a tool to keep track of the inflow and outflow of cash, be
thought of with such contempt and fear? The mystery becomes even more
puzzling once you realize that ACCOUNTING is essentially the discipline of
counting money. And since most people start a business to make money, it
seems rather silly they shouldn’t enjoy counting it.
—Peter J. Patsula, founder of Patsula Media and author (from his online publication The
Entrepreneur’s Guidebook Series, 2001–2007)
