Book Description
INTRODUCTION TO THE ACCOUNTANTThe following was taken from a hand written journal, found in the effects of Se�ora Maria-Christina Esperanza, after her death on the twelfth of November, two-thousand and fifteen, in Geneva, Switzerland.If this document is to be dedicated to anyone, it should be for my friends: those unsung heroes who mould, and guide my passage through life. As very few are chosen to dictate the course of history, mere mortals like us have been destined to suffer the convulsions, conflicts and unprecedented changes of this twentieth century. Therefore, don't judge us too harshly, for every major decision made has been enforced, or directly influenced by these.THE NUMBERS ARE EVERYTHING!1934. A young man with a gift for figures was given the appropriate further education; courtesy of his guardian.Joining the family's 'enterprise' to control its finances, he became enthralled by the dangers and excitement this brought.Events during World War Two shattered this world; their repercussions having him join two kindred spirits in the French Foreign Legion. This trio were tested to the limits of survival in Africa and Indochina; until an unexpected defeat changed everything.Escape to Thailand brought a turnaround in life, and good fortune; running financial affairs the only way he knew how. For, beneath the company's manufacturing respectability, lay a shadowy world of large scale illicit trade, controlled by summary justice.This lethally dangerous, though extremely lucrative business made few friends, while creating a growing number of enemies.There had been many attempts on his life, but will one finally eliminate this elusive figure, known as 'The Accountant'?

The Accountant's Story
Author: Roberto Escobar
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
ISBN: 0446543691
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
"I have many scars. Some of them are physical, but many more are scars on my soul. A bomb sent to kill me while I was in a maximum security prison has made me blind, yet now I see the world more clearly than I have ever seen it before. I have lived an incredible adventure. I watched as my brother, Pablo Escobar, became the most successful criminal in history, but also a hero to many of the people of Colombia. My brother was loved and he was feared. Hundreds of thousands of people marched in his funeral procession, and certainly as many people celebrated his death." These are the words of Roberto Escobar-the top accountant for the notorious and deadly Medellen Cartel, and brother of Pablo Escobar, the most famous drug lord in history. At the height of his reign, Pablo's multibillion-dollar operation smuggled tons of cocaine each week into countries all over the world. Roberto and his ten accountants kept track of all the money. Only Pablo and Roberto knew where it was stashed-and what it bought. And the amounts of money were simply staggering. According to Roberto, it cost $2,500 every month just to purchase the rubber bands needed to wrap the stacks of cash. The biggest problem was finding a place to store it: from secret compartments in walls and beneath swimming pools to banks and warehouses everywhere. There was so much money that Roberto would sometimes write off ten percent as "spoilage," meaning either rats had chewed up the bills or dampness had ruined the cash. Roberto writes about the incredible violence of the cartel, but he also writes of the humanitarian side of his brother. Pablo built entire towns, gave away thousands of houses, paid people's medical expenses, and built schools and hospitals. Yet he was responsible for the horrible deaths of thousands of people. In short, this is the story of a world of riches almost beyond mortal imagination, and in his own words, Roberto Escobar tells all: building a magnificent zoo at Pablo's opulent home, the brothers' many escapes into the jungles of Colombia, devising ingenious methods to smuggle tons of cocaine into the United States, bribing officials with literally millions of dollars-and building a personal army to protect the Escobar family against an array of enemies sworn to kill them. Few men in history have been more beloved-or despised-than Pablo Escobar. Now, for the first time, his story is told by the man who knew him best: his brother, Roberto.

Profit First
Author: Mike Michalowicz
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 073521414X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Author of cult classics The Pumpkin Plan and The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur offers a simple, counterintuitive cash management solution that will help small businesses break out of the doom spiral and achieve instant profitability. Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: Sales - Expenses = Profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren't always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows. Using Michalowicz's Profit First system, readers will learn that: · Following 4 simple principles can simplify accounting and make it easier to manage a profitable business by looking at bank account balances. · A small, profitable business can be worth much more than a large business surviving on its top line. · Businesses that attain early and sustained profitability have a better shot at achieving long-term growth. With dozens of case studies, practical, step-by-step advice, and his signature sense of humor, Michalowicz has the game-changing roadmap for any entrepreneur to make money they always dreamed of.
