Our training and education is about how to perform accounting tasks and functions, from learning the basics of journal entries in Accounting 101 to how to close the month in the company we work at. We want to master how to execute, and the better we are at executing, the better accountants we are.To understand Lean Accounting, accountants need to adjust their perspective from \u201cdoing\u201d to \u201cpracticing.\u201d And the first step to begin practicing Lean Accounting is to change the way we think as accountants."}
