10 ways to run your accounting firm like the Starship Enterprise

 I have always been a fan of Star Trek. Here are some crossover ideas for accountants:

1.  Encourage staff to think like Spock when making deductions—logical, precise, and with the odd raised eyebrow.
2. Take inspiration from the Borg and assimilate new software updates: "Resistance is futile." 
3. Declare "red alert" status whenever a client’s tax return deadline is looming. 
4. Offer “Q Continuum” consulting services for clients who want the impossible done instantly. 
5. Schedule regular "away missions" to clients' offices—just remember to wear red shirts cautiously.
6.  Say, “That’s highly illogical,” whenever an inspector challenges one of your client’s deductions.
7. Raise the deflector shields, especially if HMRC contacts your clients about an investigation.
8. Tell the managing partner, “I canna do it, Captain, I can’t defy the laws of physics,” if he or she asks you to prepare more than five tax returns a day.
9. Install a "universal translator" to decode the jargon from clients in niche industries.
10. Designate a "star date" system for deadlines, so no one can ever say they didn't know when the reports were due.
