Where shall I send my invoice.
We were out last night for a bite to eat with our accountant (she’s a mate as well) and her hubby. Bill was £140.00 and our accountant couldn’t divide it by 2 without using a calculator!
Do we need to be looking for a new accountant?

She was probably trying to deduct the VAT at the same time and work out who gets to keep the receipt.

That's pretty dreadful. Although Mrs Zen was an accountant (tax specialist) and can pull together a highly detailed set of accounts no problem at all. She is however, terrible at simple mental arithmetic. Maybe there's a theme...
Few too many I imagine.
Exactly. Trying to find out whether she’d be better off with a simple 50-50 on the bill or go proper dutch.

I have to admit I do find most women very tight, when it comes to monetary matters like bill paying.
It was a straight split 50/50 and she wasn’t under the influence. She is to be fair, pretty good with the books and readily admits struggling with the most basic of mental arithmetic, or any calculations that aren’t on a spreadsheet. I am going to take the p**s for the rest of her life though.
Oh and I definitely got the vat reciept, which she will find later as she enters it as a business meeting.

Are you using Diane Abbott Accountancy Services?
I got as far as that when I started laughing.
My daughter is an insolvency person (can't recall the exact term they use), but it's basically accounting with a bit of legal thrown in.
She can't do the simplest sums, but pointed out all Accountants use spreadsheets for everything.
That isn't really fair, you would have got an instant answer from them...
