Forward Analysis Bookkeeping Limited

Why did I light on bookkeeping as a career?

I worked for many years in IT, ranging all the way from mainframe operations to senior global management of a global bank. However, when the crash happened in 2007 (caused by the company for which I was working, by the way), they eventually told me to pick a window and leave...

I contracted for a couple of years but it became a sad fact of commercial life that, because my technical skills had become rusty due to the management positions I'd held the previous fifteen years, to the point where my technical address was Number One, Jurassic Park, I decided that I needed to refocus my attentions on an alternative career.

I love numbers - they never lie, they're finite.

I was a weird kid - for a hobby, I used to draw graphs and work out the equations under them (don't ask me to do that now, though!), so as I was into numbers, the logical choice for retraining was a career which involved them.
