The excitement is building in my house. Why? Accounting Day is fast approaching.
November 10 is the day we accountants commemorate a top 25 event in the world’s history–publishing the first book on accounting.
On November 10, 1494, volume 2 of Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalita (Everything About Arithmetic, Geometry and Proportion) was published. It is in volume 2 of the Summa that Luca Pacioli included a description of the bookkeeping/accounting system of Venice. In honor of this contribution, Pacioli has carried for centuries the title of Father of Accounting.
This year, I’ve decided to stand on the town’s busiest street corner and hand out small bags of beans for passers-by to count. There will be jelly beans, pinto beans, and beans that give you gas. It doesn’t matter what the beans are, because November 10 is our day.
If you’ve never celebrated Accounting Day before, please come to my party. There will be numbers galore.

I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
