The Accounting Profession is going through an evolution, and maybe even a revolution. This Group is for you if you are a Social Media Accounting (R)evolutionary.
Social Media tools are changing how Accounting Professionals learn and communicate with their clients, employers, the general public and their fellow professionals.
I believe there is value in having a forum for Accountants to discuss the W5s of Social Media and how it affects them. This has led me to create a new LinkedIn Group call Social Media Accountants.
If you believe that there is value in having a forum for this topic, please join and participate in the group, and ask others that are social media active to do the same.
I’m looking forward to your participation.

CFOs: Don't leave home without...
On first impression, the title of this blog can make you think of many things not to leave home without.
My version is: Don't leave home without your business cards. Actually, I recommend you always carry your work business cards and personal business cards.
Carrying your work business cards should be obvious. However, too many times when I meet CFOs in a non-interview context, they do not have a business card on them.
As I have recommended previously (read Network for Work), part of your career path development requires that you network constantly and consistently.
Why should you have personal business cards?
Having a professionally designed and well branded personal business card is an effective way to allow those who you would like to stay in touch with to do so. You never know when a golden opportunity could have your name on it, and the person who thinks about you can't find you because you no longer work at the company on the card.
A personal business card is especially useful during a career transition. It can certainly help you stand out from the competition during the interview process.
For those receivers of your card who are more old school, chances are they will file it properly in their business card organizer (which usually means a pile on their desk). They might not be on LinkedIn (yet), but they do keep track of their business cards. Give your personal business card out selectively to those who you would like to stay in contact with beyond your current role.
Making the investment in personal business cards and remembering not to leave home without them can pay huge dividends.
