Companies to Watch

A small private company at present: https://ridelink.com/ But this is essentially the AirBnB of the Car world. Great time to invest now, via Seedr. The company seems to be free and headed up by a great team. Please look at LinkedIn for more information. Another one to watch I think right now: https://theculturetrip.com/ […]

Meeting a Great Economist Steve Keen

Dunking Economics, is a book of rebellion that was written by Professor Steve Keen. This work, reading and appearances on RT Television motivated me in starting a course a Kingston University that has been absolutely great. (Back in 2014) Introducing me to so many different aspects of economics, and most importantly alternative views that […]

The creators of Bitcoin will destroy it

Although I understand the importance and value the wisdom of Bitcoin, I think it is has a finite life right now. Although the volatility will continue for some time. I think it will die and then re-incarnate later….I will explain….. The central bankers and others like Western Union, have a thorn in the backside and […]

My first Ann Summers Party

You filthy swine I hear the aged lady shout ready to strike with her handbag. No it was not a party like that actually. Yesterday, on the 20th November 2013, I went along to an event organised by the Evening Standard near Westminster, London that hosted Ms. Jacquiline Gold. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqueline_Gold http://www.es-bc.co.uk/jacqueline-gold The woman behind […]

Next in the USA.

Trying to predict the future is a tough one. But one thing I am becoming sure about is the collapse of the dollar. Every Fiat currency has an average life span of decades not centuries, before something needs to replace it. As the debt in the US has to keep climbing due to […]

Your business does not have any presence in the East?

Your business does not have any presence in the East: What are you doing? I recall watching a program on channel 4 called the “Britain’s trillion pound horror story”. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/britains-trillion-pound-horror-story/4od It was disturbing. Lately however I have seen the latest analyse of the mess we are in by way of money weeks, “End of […]

The future of Accounts Outsourcing

I watched the following video today. http://video.ft.com/v/2317219704001/Indian-outsourcing-2-0. Very interesting. Price arbitrage has been clicking away in the background for years. The wage differential is still 10:1 in many areas, including accounting. Technology has allowed access to 2nd or 3rd world countries to compete. Survival of the fittest now? I think the […]

Open and transparent Taxation or a waste of time?

The recent news states that Google, Amazon, Starbucks are openly dancing naked in front of the authorities and not paying any tax either. J1. A not so recent documentary http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=d4o13isDdfY#!, showed that Apple was able to manufacture their equipment in China for $40-50, and sell it for $500 in the US. Nothing wrong with that arguably. The […]

Lord Bilimoria Lecture Hayes London UK

I met with Lord Bilimoria today, (the Chairman of Cobra beers) and others at a conference held by the Hounslow Chambers of Commerce in Hayes, London. Inspirational guy indeed. He started with little, but through perseverance has accomplished so much in his life. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karan_Bilimoria,_Baron_Bilimoria A very straightforward and humble individual I thought, although the military […]

Investing in Property & Land in India

I am of Indian origin myself. I have traveled there a few times now, watched a lot of movies, mainly old ones. And I hear stories about the place all time. There is a lot of detailed homework that surely needs to go in before investing your money anywhere in the world, but especially so […]

The Future of Accounting Software

A lot of systems are going to fall is the prediction. As accountants, 50% of all UK practices are using IRIS (2011-12), usually linked to Sage line 5o for book-keeping. And there are so many other systems out there that I could name that are used by the masses. Here is an intial list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_accounting_software […]

SME Accounting Documents to hold for New Business

One of the questions I am often asked is around the documentation that a needs to be sorted out and stored for a new business. In the UK, by law we must hold all our primary documents for at least 6 years. One of the most important accounting principles to mention is the business entity […]

The Best at Sales

I overwhelmingly propose that traditional face to face sales techniques are useless in some businesses. Google, Ebay or other dot-com start-ups, needed tech guru’s not sales people. That is self-evident. Furthermore, if the product or service base is totally useless, sales is a waste of time. All sales will be temporary. When the client […]

A Topdown View of Financial Reporting

To some respected people, especially fellow Accountants, the following extract might offend, but I make no apologies. I fully justify my views instead. Given that Accounting can be extremely complex, even mind bending at times. Certain areas, like taxation planning can be a minefield. Indeed, only the skillful accountant can guide you through. I will not mention taxation, […]

Karma a Different view

Me being of Hindu origin, growing up around in a Christian country has been fun. I have questioned it all. A past time for us all at some point. I am one of those that prefers an exact answer, but for some things I really don’t know. This applies to Karma too. Still […]
