Accountants: Occupy Wall Street Needs Your Help
Going Concern, Any Accountants Looking for a Holiday Volunteering Opportunity Should Contact Occupy Wall Street Immediately:
[T]he finance team is still completely overwhelmed and could use any help the accounting community has to offer. My sense is there are some dedicated people trying to make it work, but it's challenging and they're swamped with the day-to-day logistics. ...
Requires work in evenings and on weekends with sometimes difficult and sometimes contradictory clients having substandard documentation. Internal management can be contentious and rarely reaches consensus on significant decisions, but still expects results. Pay will be nothing compared to the effort involved in completing the job. Good record keeping, organizational and presentation skills a plus, along with experience in setting up cash monitoring systems.

The "Finance (Accounting)" group has been putting together cash statements and balance sheets, but needs any assistance the community can provide.

This must be part of an effort to set up the movement a labor union (except a non-working labor), getting tax payers to pay them a living wage, setting up an automated payroll deduction scheme for union dues, and streamlining remittance of such dues straight to the DNC...

I know an accountant on parole right now that needs a job-might be a good fit.
