Title: Bean Counter to Business Partner
Review: This is a great book on creating a lean organization and its impact on the accounting function. The first part of the book concentrates on "What is lean?" and "How does it change things?" The second part of the book looks at how the accounting function changes from one of bean counter to one of high value business partner.An important concept is the idea of accuracy vs. precision. While much information is both, accountants tend to spend a great deal of time making information precise, while being accurate is good enough. As a past accountant for over 20 years, I myself have fallen into the precise trap. This book helped me understand why accuracy is to be preferred over precision: Precision can eat up valuable resources with little to show for it.Karen L.
