Can You Trust Your Accountant? #211

January 24, 2022

Trust, they say, exists at the intersection of 'Character' and 'Competence'. In this week's piece I'm sharing a short story about a fictional accountant (Steady-Eddie), a fictional Financial Advisor (Friendly-Fiona), and you!Through this short story we'll look at at trust, and whether it is deserved or not, and we'll look at the murky world of unregulated financial advice and unregulated investments in Ireland. Before I start, I want to reiterate that I know and trust quite a few accountants and financial advisors!I hope it helps.Paddy
