I was at the office of a client yesterday at the request of the MD who needs help with respect to her accounting system. I met with the GM who told me the challenges they're currently encountering and asked what we could do to salvage the situation? While the meeting was going on, i asked for the accountant of the company to be present at the meeting to tell us the challenges he was encountering and what he's been able to accomplish thus far. Currently, the company is using an accounting package bought from a software vendor in Nigeria who cared less about after sale service. As the meeting progressed, the accountant told me he's unable to manage the inventory of spare part items of the business and thus the monthly management accounts that is required for decision making and planning is not produced. While having a meeting with the MD later in the day, she told me point blank that she was going to sack the accountant after we are done with the accounting system repairs. Now, the issue is the accountant happens to be my friend and his wife such a wonderful person with three kids who is currently managing a small business centre. The question now is this, how do i tell this accountant friend of mine what is about to befall him? I'll appreciate your useful counsel on this. |

Plead with the MD to pardon the accountant. And if that falls on deaf ears, advice ur friend to be prepared for the worst. 1 Like |

I totally agree with the 1st commenter (Sieg)... Buh i advise you don't let the GM know you are connected with the accountant in any way... Just act and intercede for him in a goodwill manner and see what comes off it... Remember to alert your Friend to prepare for the worst... Am wishing him and his family the very best... 1 Like |

A friend asked me a critical question that got me thinking. He said, how close are you to this guy? If he's an intimate friend then i should disclose to him and if he's not i should stylishly ask him, does he see a prospect continuing on this job he's currently handling and if not he should begin to look elsewhere? I think i agree with him on that, or what do you guys think? |
