I’ve been reading (the very rare) posts by a “software craftsman” (as he calls himself) named Martin Kleppmann for a while now, and yesterday he wrote an ingenius post about accounting. If you’re in the same position I was in a couple years ago – I was a freshly baked computer scientist who just started a company and all the accounting jargon left me thoroughly confused – you might find this really invaluable.
So, head over to his blog and read his guide to accounting for computer scientists. It’s brilliant. 🙂
