My wife is a Chief Accounting Officer and she loves accounting. She lives and breathes it. She loves puzzling over accounting issues and over the years, I’ve seen her debug spreadsheets the way I debug code. In another life she would have been a tremendous programmer. Even though she is the highest accounting person in her company, she still has her nose in the books, always getting into fights against the auditors over esoteric FASB edicts (and always winning).
As a programmer, I love watching her work because it’s so similar to programming on a higher level.
