A Christmas Carol In Progress
It’s almost Christmas so it is time for something a little more light-hearted. Recently I came across a Christmas carol which is perfect for accountants and bookkeepers so I thought I would share it with you.
The carol is still evolving and there are more verses to come so keep your eye on The Summa where you will gradually find the rest of the verses.
Here you have “An Accounting Song for Christmas” by David Albrecht. I will bet that you can’t read this through without singing it in your head.
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me,
A debit where a credit ought to be.
On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me,
Two much expense,
And a debit where a credit ought to be.
On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me,
Three cups of coffee,
Two much expense,
And a debit where a credit ought to be.
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me,
Four accounting giants,
Three cups of coffee,
Two much expense,
And a debit where a credit ought to be.
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me,
Five pencil stubs,
Four accounting giants,
Three cups of coffee,
Two much expense,
And a debit where a credit ought to be.
What do you think should come next?

Sophie is efficient, direct and gets the job done. She responds quickly, keeps me updated and has a way of simplifying things and making my life easier. She is all about efficiency and that’s what makes it great to work with her, I highly recommend her to anyone who wants someone to efficiently look after their books and she is great value for money too.

I’d been stalking Sophie for a while since I saw some of the great work she did at Ideas Book. What she’s up to at the SOHO Agency is equally impressive and I’m delighted to have someone working in this space who I feel so confident referring onto others. Keep being brilliant Sophie!

Sophie is an incredibly savvy business owner, for whom I have great respect. She has always been very clear and detailed in her instructions, is always very focused on her business objectives, and displays a business model that you can aspire to as a small business owner. I have no hesitation is recommending her work at The Accounts Studio.

I have had many a chat with Sophie on the networking circuit. Sophie has a strong profile and reputation within business circles and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any soho needing direction, support and encouragement. I have a passion for educating small business myself and wholeheartedly support Sophie in her endeavour to actively reduce costs for those who may be unintentionally making uninformed decisions relating to business management. Many business owners are unnecessarily outsourcing tasks which are misdirected or can be achieved inhouse.

I’ve worked with Sophie as a contributor to Confessions of a Mumpreneur – a fantastic book that she dreamt up, edited and produced. Apart from producing fabulous books that help so many others realise their entrepreneurial dreams, Sophie is an astute business person who is making her mark on her own terms. Watch this space – I’m sure we’ll see and hear a lot more from Sophie Andrews in the years to come.

I got to know Sophie through my previous employer where Sophie still handles the bookkeeping side of things. While we worked together I have found Sophie very accurate, punctual and very pleasant to work with. And recommend her highly.

I was recommended to The Accounts Studio at a networking event and have been working with them for the last 2 years. The team have all been very approachable and available – two things essential when it comes to understanding your accounts! I now no longer have the stress every three months of getting my BAS correct and even better I have a clear understanding of where my company is financially! Thanks Sophie and TAS team!
