Accountants and samurai are guided in their affairs by their own law.

With one it is the Bushido Code of nobility, respect and faithful service, with the other the Accountancy Act. For accountants, faithful service and respect for the client are the unwritten law.

The path of the samurai and the path of the accountant are always consistent with the notion of honor of the two estates.

The loss of honor for both samurai and accountants leads to an equally grim end.

One chooses seppuku and the other loses customers.

Well, with the samurai, the end is rather majestic and recounted in songs and myths, but with the accountants, there is silence on the matter.

A true samurai possesses more than just two swords and the ability to wield them. Distinguished by strength and courage.

A real accountant has more than a computer, a sheet of paper, a pen, books of laws and regulations and the ability to work with them.

In addition to strength and courage, accountants are also known for their quick and analytical minds, both in tough times and during “tax peace.”

So far, no historical records have been found of any samurai undergoing tax audit and tax inspection. For accountants, however, this is everyday life.

The samurai is ready at any moment to defend his master. If necessary, give his life for it.

The accountant is always ready to protect the financial interests and company reputation of his client. If the client trusts him, he will be by his side for the rest of his life.

In addition to being consummate warriors, samurai are also highly educated and very well read, just like good accountants.

But if these are similarities, then what are the differences.

The strength and skills of a good samurai are most evident in times of war. Then he destroys his master’s enemies.

A good accountant protects his client from a “war” with the tax system. Moreover, he is dedicated to ensuring that his client is at peace with himself and the tax authorities. But if there is a problem, the accountant solves it. Not by fire and sword, but by knowing and applying the tax laws. However, this is best seen during a tax inspection or tax audit. Then on the “battlefield” the accountant is alone against everyone. And the client is somewhere else, safe.

A samurai who has lost his master is called a “ronin”, i.e. floating aimlessly, like a sea wave.

An accountant who has lost his reputation and his clients because he has wronged them has practically done himself a “seppuku” but doesn’t realise it.

Great samurai have remained in history and some of them have become legends.

Good accountants continue to make history today. And some of them are so good that they are living legends.

Straight as “bushido” are accountants, right?
