Quotations:

“Attitude is everything.” - Ed Chan

“Some accountants are not suited to our industry, so not all accountants are suited to our industry, and often they should go off and work in a commercial firm where speed isn't an issue, but for us, speed is everything.” - Ed Chan

“A blue person's more focused on numbers, while a green person's more people orientated.” - Ed Chan

“... the personality test testing works better with a minder finder than it does with a grinder.” - Ed Chan
