Balancing between Bits and Bookkeeping
The IT Professional Who Had Wanted to Become an Accountant
What do you do when you want to pursue a technical education but face obstacles? Certainly not become a boring, dusty accountant, right? In my case, that's exactly what happened. I found economics and administration interesting. While I thought I could do accounting well and applied for the position of assistant accountant, my life took a second turn. Uniquely, this led me into the realm of technology. The narrative of an IT professional originally aspiring to be an accountant unravels this story.
This book outlines office life at an accounting firm over the past forty years. It portrays the challenging and amusing moments etched in my experiences. What lingers most vividly are the interactions with colleagues, clients, and suppliers. Though there were trying times, I was fortunate to have supportive colleagues and trusting managers. This book recounts this remarkably beautiful period.
Peter van Es has been working in various IT roles at the accounting firm EY since 1981. Throughout his journey, he has witnessed the unfolding of numerous transformations, from the rise of personal computers to the dawn of the internet era. He has lived through the transition from a paper-centric environment to a digital landscape. And yet, all these changes were embraced as opportunities for continuous personal development.
