Active Mining need good accounting just like it needs a decent website; these are basic business essentials, and if Ken doesn't have the skillset to do it (and it's not a big deal if he doesn't), then he needs to hire folk to do it for AM. Just because Bitcoin Mining is a relatively new venture doesn't mean that business fundamentals should be thrown out of the window.
Active Mining will have accounting, we are setting up our manufacturing software as we speak, this is different than AMC which only had basic accounting due to the fact that all it did was mine bitcoins and pay out dividends. AMC in its description did not have provisions for any kind of advanced accounting. FYI I made straight A's in accounting. I also was hired and became the lead programmer on an accounting project.
I don't think he was asking for any advanced accounting. You don't even have to use special manufacturing software.. just open up Excel and start typing in current numbers. Update those numbers on a regular basis and post the worksheet. Correct me I'm wrong, but I think this is all they're asking for.
