"When I said you were going to be our top bean counter, you happily agreed. So what's the problem?"  

The term bean counter is often used negatively to describe an overly zealous or fastidious accountant, although other financial comptrollers may also fit the description. 

While an account might be asked to perform a thorough inventory of his or her company's assets. only a bean counter would literally count the numbers of beans contained in the company kitchen's pantry.
 

"Even though they had made a profit, they laid people off, because the bean counters told them they would make more money."

  Bean Counter是數豆子的人，有誰會無聊到想去數豆子呢？就是會計師。
