How does a struggling farmer eventually become a named partner in his own accounting firm? Do what Clarence Hein did: keep trying. Fiercely intelligent yet humbly grateful, Hein is a man of quiet humor and admirable principles. "The Adventures of an Accountant"conversationally takes us from his (not very successful) early career as a beet farmer in Montana to the founding, and ultimate triumph, of Hein & Associates, LLP, an accounting firm with modest beginnings that, through Clarence's integrity, guidance, and persistence has become the successful and well-respected institution it is today. Hein's forty-two years as a public accountant also serve to show us a fascinating cross section of the accounting profession in general. A true pioneer, Hein demonstrates through his memoirs his insatiable drive to succeed in spite of whatever initial or continuing obstacles he encounters. In what will surely be an inspiration to his readers, Hein's "The Adventures of an Accountant" reminds us that dreams are always possible -- and that life is beautiful, fulfilling, and surprising.
