Beeping accountants...

TS’ esteemed editor-in- chief Damian Wild blogged about a rumour he heard, that a mid-tier firm in Amsterdam drove around the offices of its Big Four rivals using a megaphone ‘urging accountants to defect’ ­ to the mid-tier firm, and not into another career, presumed TS.
‘The rumours you heard are close, though not entirely accurate,’ replied a blogger by the name Tilly. A firm took a truck, with a video wall around the Big Four urging their employers to send texts about their work ­ which were subsequently displayed on the aforementioned wall.

‘Another such tactic is the spoof by Grant Thornton in Holland: it launched a website (Beep Accountants), which claimed to have an in-house divorce service, free meals at your desk and a 9-day working week,’ Tilly added most helpfully. Can’t make head nor tail of it, it’s all too clever for TS ­ and in Dutch. Translation needed please.
