Sure, but accountants will not know the likelyhood of success of a new product or service, how the features will affect sales, the likelyhood of making large sales, the state of strategic relationships, etc. etc.

Yes, they may have models and estimates, but the real information will be in the hands of those involved directly.

Even things like refinancing and the options for doing so can be affected by things like letters of intent from potential large clients, industry validation, etc.

Just knowing numbers and dates isn’t enough.

I’m not saying accounting isn’t important, but it just isn’t the only source of truth.
