With 30 years accounting and finance experience in both public practice and industry, and a broad range of leisure interests The Fabulous Micky C brings a unique and somewhat sideways perspective to the world of finance.
Mr Fabulous aka Michael Cohen FCCA qualified in public practice and gained experience in small London firms. In his professional career Michael worked as CFO at Virgin Publishing, various independent book publishers and, somewhat tangentally, 5 very happy years as European CFO for a Nasdaq listed 3D printing US Corporation. He has also spent a number of years in Insurance and now counts beans for a Company Formations and Secretarial Services Company. A broad and varied career!
During this time Michael's alter ego The Fabulous Micky C was writing songs, playing in bands, living the life of the average Bob Dylan obsessive, playing and watching football (as a 45 year season ticket holder at Chelsea), following current affairs and the arts, and going through all those life events that most of us go though by the time we get to our mid fifties.
He also opened the world famous Helter Skelter Bookshop in Denmark Street (Tin Pan Alley) and its sister publishing company Helter Skelter Books.
The Fabulous Micky C and Michael Cohen continue to account, play music and football and live life to the full. As such he/they can bring an unusual, interesting and somewhat sideways view to the matters that concern accountants of, shall we say, an idiosyncratic nature.
My answers
And Irving Berlin a greater one! I think the point is about personal responsibility, doing the right thing and generosity of spirit. I don't think that a person's attitude to paying their fair share back into the community that nurtured them has any bearing on their artistic status. I'm still fighting Irv's corner.
