Tell me you're an accountant without telling me you're an accountant…


  • I can’t relax in a café if I can see the till is open too long.

  • My friends think “a quick tax question” is an acceptable start to any conversation.

  • I once said “that’s disallowable” out loud during a family dinner.

  • I judge people for how they organise their receipts. Or don’t.

  • My partner gets nervous whenever I say “Can I just ask… what was this for?”

  • I've explained what dividends are at least 47 times this year.

  • I’ve laughed out loud at accounting memes. Then corrected them.

  • I automatically say yes please for a receipt regardless of the transaction 

  • Whenever a friend buys me a drink or lunch they sit in my head as creditors as I owe them one back! 

  • I can’t cope if my laptop doesn’t have a separate number pad 

  •  When I'm out with self employed friends they always ask me if they can claim it as an expense.

  • I keep receipts for things I didn’t even pay for, just out of habit.
