The good friar was the friend of Leonardo da Vinci. If Dan Brown unpicks difficult mysteries, Pacioli did the same for Da Vinci, helping the artist solve the challenge of the Last Supper’s famous dimensionality.
His 1494 treatise on how accounting works laid down the lines that have been used to shed light on business ever since.
C'mon Mr Brown... there’s got to be a bestseller in there, no? A genius accountant sees how to unravel the mysteries of corporate intrigue and makes a meal of the villains.
Yours in transparency,
