Accountants can be a good leader. Why not. Being a good and an effective leader doesn't rely on what is the leader's profession. Though background and educational status may define his belief and stand, it doesn't auto-define his capability.
Accountants are simply good in numbers, in computing, and understanding deficits and money and all that concerns counting. Demography, rates and feasibility studies could be their strong point. And what is everybody's problem now – money! They can focus on the growing number of ooutsourcing payroll companies. And another one, they can improve and regulate the positively fast growing online payroll services. And It is not all about payroll. Colorado, and the rest of America needs great accountants, because they need somebody who is always ready to be accountable in their lives.
