The history of Universal Accounting
Over 50 years ago, Allen’s father, Alf Bostrom, earned the title of ‘The Turn-Around King.’ As the owner of a management firm called the Metropolitan Business Bureau, Alf was able to save countless failing businesses, some of which were threatening bankruptcy.
Alf went on to launch Universal Training Systems in 1979, which later became the successful Universal Accounting Center, but not before he taught his son the powerful management principles he used to bring businesses from red to black. In fact, as a young man, Allen often accompanied his father to work where he observed these principles in play—principles which Allen believes are even more important today than they were thirty-five years ago due to increased competitive pressures.
But Alf Bostrom’s legacy didn’t stop there.
Allen went on to write his first book, In the Black: Nine Principles to Make Your Business More Profitable, which includes many strategies that he first learned from his father. It has been on Amazon Japan’s bestseller list and is currently in its fourth printing.
Since then, Allen has realized that many business owners are not just looking to become more profitable, but rather, they’re looking to save failing businesses. Red to Black is designed as a practical how-to guide in helping small-business accountants manage quick and successful turnarounds. Reminiscent of those principles that made Alf ‘The Turn-Around King,’ this book is designed to rescue failing companies, finding solid footing ‘in the black.’
Alf would be proud!
