Sometimes, it’s
hard to be extreme accountants (as Tammy Wynette almost sang), trying to balance those spreadsheets whilst searching out the next big challenge, so here’s a few ideas for your next adventure – just don’t come running to us if you break your leg, as my dear old mum used to say, circa 1977.
With the success of our comrades-in-suits at the Red Bull Flugtag in June still ringing in our ears, we felt it was time to herald the launch of our latest recruitment drive for the only club in the world dedicated to pitting the wits of the world’s finest financial minds against the sternest physical endeavours to be found on this fair globe of ours.
Not content with maintaining steady growth in the number of members signing up to the way of the extreme accountant, we have decided to battle the credit crunch in the only way we know how – with a timely adrenalin boost to lift us above the misery and mayhem of everyday number crunching.
From international adventure challenges to X-Terrain decathlons, there is a huge array of extreme events out there to test our mettle, and we now urge you to take up umbrellas and bowlers and, bellowing our famous war cry “CALCULUS FUGIT”, handed down from the great Roman accountant turned gladiator Optimus Proffites, show your competitors that an extreme accountant is a happy accountant.
We are on the look out for more teams to sponsor to help spread the word of the extreme accountants, so let us know what you are doing, where you are doing it, and why your team is worthy of official extreme accounting sponsorship.
We look forward to seeing the results of your endeavours in glorious digital imagery and lyrical verbosity, so please send us your accounts as ever to awesum@extreme-accounting.com
Good luck, and let battle commence!
