I wonder what they charge for bookeeping! Hopefully their rates aren't shocking.

I drove past this sign on the side of the building for a chartered accountant in Thomastown, which made laugh and thought others might enjoy it. I've never seen a chartered accountant or business adviser offer bookeeping services before, but there's always a first. So if your accounts are haunting you, perhaps this is the chartered accountant for you.

PPS. One reader advised me the spelling in the above for bookkeeper is incorrect, which of course is a correct observation. They had not noticed the sign, which the accountant no doubt paid some good money to have made and would have been checked by the graphic designer, printer and the accountants themselves, had all failed to pick up the spelling error of bookeeper which should have been bookkeeper. I found this amusing but perhaps that's just my ghoulish sense of humour;-)
