And I know that not all his clients will be balancing their books – many of them will borrow, for years at a time.
Eh?
Sorry? Any company, individual or organisation that has borrowings has not balanced their books?
Are we absolutely certain that this man worked as an accountant?
The man is an idiot. We all know this. But worse that mere idiocy, is that his stupidity is such that he cannot comprehend his own intellectual limitations. Thus he thinks he is far far cleverer than he is. Normally someone would be disabused of such notions fairly quickly, but he swims in a very shallow intellectual pool: advising trade unions, working for leftie fake charities, etc. His self-delusion can prosper in such an environment.
When the rest of the world looks on (increasingly with pity) his reaction is to rail against “right wingers” (a very strong curse in leftie circles) and delete all critical comments from his blog postings. He is unlikely to have comprehended the term “confirmation bias.”
“First class men hire first class men; second class men hire third class men”: and Trade Unions hire …..?
as an accountant, I can only feel deep shame as this idiot pronounces…
He’s the Amanda Marcotte of accountancy.

Ritchie’s full of it.
