Soling, soling

Article Abstract:

Chartered accountant Joanne Abbott made heads turn when she joined the soling event at the Atlanta Summer Olympics. The sole practitioner had beaten great odds by competing in a sport that historically excluded women. Moreover, she held the center position on the boat as wind tactician and spinnaker handler, a role usually assigned to men weighing more than 200 lbs. Her team was able to finish fifth out of a class of 22.

Accounting firms who have forged close business relationships with such groups stress the importance of building trust and conforming with the cultural backgrounds of each customer.
