If you are in that group, you might be thinking, “If I’m not going to be an accountant, why do I need to know accounting?” In response, consider this quote from Harold Geneen, the former chairman of IT&T: “To be good at your business, you have to know the numbers—cold.” Success in any business comes back to the numbers.
