Uganda's Queens of Accounting
On 13th May 2017, I was honored to grace the cover of Daily Monitor's Full Woman Magazine
Uganda: Rise and Rise of Accounting Queens
Lilian Katiso, the blogging accountant
She is known as the blogging accountant. The award winning (awarded for outstanding contribution to the accountancy and finance profession) an ACCA fellow and mother of one explains why she took up accounting. "I took up accounting because I am passionate about numbers, I love figures but most importantly I love order. As an accountant looking for a certification course, my most obvious choice was ACCA. It was not an easy feat, having a fulltime job and being a wife and other responsibilities that come with a member of any community/society. It required a lot of sacrifice and discipline in time management. God blessed me with a very loving, understanding and supportive husband who sacrificed equally as much to see me complete successfully. Above all, it took God's gracious and loving hand to hold me especially in the times when I was so overwhelmed and I felt like throwing in the towel. It is God who saw me through each single paper.
ACCA is the perfect course for anyone interested in accessing global employment opportunities. With its emphasis on professional values and ethics it gives its members a reasonable advantage in the employment field. As a member you can use the ACCA designation after your name which is a symbol of excellence recognisable to employers all around the world. Having worked in a management consultancy firm, the clients valued my qualifications so much that
I had to list all of them on my business cards. If you want to venture into consultancy, ACCA is a recognised global brand that you can use to be a part of your personal ID just as Doctors or Engineers do.
"I have sat on several interview panels sourcing for accountants and I can proudly tell you that the ACCA brand comes highly recommended," says Katiso who has since worked in all the East African countries, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and even Southern Sudan since becoming a member

Outstanding Contribution to the Accountancy and Finance Profession
On Friday 11th November 2016, I was extremely humbled to be given an award for the 'Outstanding Contribution to the Accountancy and Finance Profession' by ACCA Uganda. One of the highlights of the citation was the weekly publishing of articles on this page The Accountancy and Business Clinic.
I first wrote on a business forum not intending to be a serial writer, but out of concern for the many business owners who were seemingly rejoicing on their sales while I wondered about their profitability. The post generated interesting conversations and a member requested for more posts on how to manage their finances and run their businesses better.

Use pot dressers to add colour to your home

Synonymous with their name, crocheted pot dressers are hand woven
dressers made of wool in a cylindrical shape and then dressed on the
pots or planters.
“Like a beautiful sweater, crocheted dressers are
unique,” says Lillian Katiso of Maua and More
who sells potted plants at Kensington
Shopping Boulevard, in Kyanja.
Money from nature’s blessings
“If you have never experienced the joy of accomplishing more than you
can imagine, plant a garden,” that is one of Lillian Katiso’s favourite
quotes, probably because it rejuvenates her passion – gardening.
“When I was nine years old, I started planting flowers in containers and
on the verandah because we had a small house. Even when I went to
boarding school, I had potted creepers,” she fondly recalls. However, it
was only two years ago that she decided to turn her hobby into a cash
cow.......

Sometimes when you don’t have garden space and your budget is limited,
huge containers to adorn your patio, for example, are not a welcome
option. Besides, when you have young children, this becomes a no-go

“I use cow dung (for fertiliser). I buy some
flowers and the man who does the gardening for some people plants them. I
prefer to use people in the neighbourhood. You are not employing them,
but you are giving them work to do, being a friend to them.When his cows
