I'm not arguing that MBA's are evil or something. I have just noticed that companies tend to overdo their financial engineering to a point where the company is a perfect financial machine but it is unable to produce anything worthwhile or innovate or whatever.

Entrepreneurs should treat finance as a tool not become a tool for the finance. What I mean is that sometimes you need to tell your accountant: Yes, what you propose makes sense from financial perspective - but it might severely cripple our vision and diminish our ability to reach our long term goals.

Nowadays to many treat finance as religion. And they don't even take a dump without their accountant.
