Why 52 Cards?
Because sometimes the easiest way to understand numbers is to stop looking at them as numbers.
The Numbers Deck turns Accounting concepts into something you can see, move, connect and experience.
The idea was born when Anish was helping a friend in Australia who was struggling with an Accounting problem. Rather than simply giving her the answer, he simplified the fundamentals and explained them in a visual, practical way.
Within minutes, she worked it out herself.
That experience led to the creation of The Numbers Deck, a 52 card approach to Accounting for Non Accountants.
