Numbers Have Meaning by North West Numbers: Recent Episodes
Moragh Hunt
My name is Moragh Hunt and I run North West Numbers CIC. This series of podcasts is designed to let you know me better. I am a qualified Accountant with 34 years of experience and I want to help make a difference in the world through demystifying and simplifying accounting terms and procedures. If I can help small Charities, Not-for-Profits, Startups, and Businesses reduce the mental stress of trying to understand the books and records and give you all your time back so that you can spend it with your family or as you wish, then I will feel that I have made a difference.
There are 5 myths that people believe about Accountants and this is my twist on them.
Obviously, the big one is about how accountants are dull, grey and boring.
I don't think I am, and I'm an accountant.
Ok. So let’s break it down
Dull - means lacking brightness, interest, or excitement.
Well, I like to dance and sing.
I make beautiful handmade cards and enjoy drinking and partying.
Grey - without interest or character; dull and nondescript.
I have never worn grey, in fact, I did think about wearing my brightest waistcoat to prove it, but I decided that the brightness might actually distract you from my words.
I couldn't say I don't have grey, because obviously, I do.
I have, as you can see, grey hair.
To me that's just a sign of maturity (not old age).
I could do something about it, but I quite like it.
Boring - not interesting; tedious.
I don't consider myself boring.
I love Simon's cat.
Anyone who owns a cat can just see exactly where the guy is coming from.
I have three of my own and they keep me endlessly amused.
