If you are wealthy and can hire enough accountants and attorneys, you can find ways around the code. It's fundamentally not fair. It wastes a lot of time and energy and effort to comply with it. It doesn't encourage savings and investment. And we need to simply it and make it more fair.
Karl Rove
Image
If you want to be a top athlete you have to be a little bit wild, not be an accountant.
Renato Canova
Image
The older I get, the more interesting I find lawyers and accountants.
Alex James
Image
Property is my major investment. My accountant has put money into various long-term savings arrangements. To be honest, I am a bit vague about all that stuff.
Anne Robinson
Image
From the Olympian heights of an executive suite, in an atmosphere where your success is judged by the extent to which you can maximise profits, the overwhelming tendency must be to see people as units of production, as indices in your accountants' books.
Jimmy Reid

You have the establishment and then you have the hippies revolting against the establishment, and what you end up getting are like accountants with long hair. And that's kind of what happened with the youth movement in the '70s.
Mark Russell

As an accountant by trade, my work for blue chip companies took me all over the world.
Marta Andreasen

I would've liked to have been a better businessman when I was younger. And of course, I couldn't, because it wasn't part of my atmosphere. I never lived with accountants, I never lived with lawyers.
Jack Kirby

No, I'm not rich. I had a tax problem in this country, curiously enough, and my accountant said the British government was patently wrong in taxing me, and they were, but we couldn't persuade them and it cost me everything I had.

I don't mean to sugarcoat the figure on restatements, but I think it is positive - it shows a healthy system. The general impression of the public is that accounting rules are black and white. They are often anything but that, and in many instances the changes in earnings came after new interpretations by the chief accountant of the SEC.
Steve Odland

If businesses don't know from state to state what the requirements are for taxes, they have to waste a lot of money on accountants and lawyers before deciding to expand their business into the state next door.
Bob Goodlatte
Image
The company accountant is shy and retiring. He's shy a quarter of a million dollars. That's why he's retiring.
Milton Berle

When actors go onstage, you know immediately if they can do their job. You can be a lawyer or an accountant for years and not find out.
Patsy Rodenburg

I had a fairly enlightened dad, though if you looked at his resume, it might not seem that way. He was a chartered accountant for Price Waterhouse. He was strict, and we had a very ordered life. To this day, I am the least materialistic person I know, because my father didn't raise me to just go out and buy this or that car.
Hugh Jackman

I grew up in the Southwest Bronx. Father an accountant, mother a schoolteacher. Brother was six years older, which explains why I gobbled crystal meth at 12, smoked hashish at 13, and was shooting smack at 17, which explains how I got Hepatitis C, which was the basis of my first book, which was a humor book about dying.
Dave Barry

Book publishing was never a heaven run by editors, and it is by no means today a hell run by accountants. If our sole interest was instant profit, not only would we never do any number of the things we actually do every day, we probably wouldn't be in book publishing at all.
Patrick Nielsen Hayden

Industrialism implies technology and the cutting of time into precise fragments suited to the needs of the engineer and the accountant.
Harold Innis

I think Mum's got a second cousin who's an accountant, but we never talk about him.

Professional accountants should use that influence to encourage the companies they serve to think long term and integrate sustainable development goals into their accounting, such as by including a natural capital account, which I have heard is gaining ground.
Kofi Annan

It is not the job of mathematicians... to do correct arithmetical operations. It is the job of bank accountants.
Samuil Shatunovsky
Image
I have more faith in my bra than I have in my accountant.
Laurie Notaro
Image
The only people helped by the death tax are lawyers, accountants, and IRS agents.
Bob Schaffer
Image
No, when I worked as an accountant I was falling asleep waiting for 5 o'clock.
Heston Blumenthal

For almost anyone who chooses to be a writer, since so very few writers are able to learn a living from their work that is equivalent to the living earned by the average dentist or accountant.
