Exactly. A good bean counter can analyze the results of "all" the

If you truly want to screw up a business, put an accountant in as CEO.

An accountant trying to run a business is like driving down the road
at 80 MPH, looking in the rear view mirror to see where you are going.

A couple of the more infamous accountant CEOs in Detroit were Lynn
Townsend at Chrysler (Iaccocia cleaned up his mess) and Roger Smith at
GM.

There are more, but you get the idea.

Accountants are trained to count beans, not run businesses.
