I've been in private practice as a CPA for 31 years now. Most "bean counters" as you call us are keyed upon giving the best tax advice we can but also consult and advise on matters of sales, expansion, pricing, equipment acquisition , mergers and acquisitions, buy sell agreements, retirement planning, etc. Not just "bean counters"!

yes, but managing corporate finances is way different than managing a portfolio of unlimited choices against a benchmark of a frictionless index. Most accountants I have worked don't have the intuitive business valuation of a good decision or poor decision. They know the processes and legal requirements.
They advise, but don't decide. they know the cost of everything, but the value of nothing. . .
And we can debate this all day long, and neither of us will change our opinions.
The future is much more uncertain that the past accounting.
