Peter Frampton

Peter Frampton is a businessman, educator and advocate for accounting literacy. He is the chairman of educational publishing company Wealthvox. When qualifying as a chartered accountant at the world's largest accounting firm he started with a friend a twenty-year inquiry into why people found it hard to learn accounting. That began a quest to find a better, easier way to teach it. The upshot of that successful journey is the groundbreaking book The Joy of Accounting. The better way they discovered involves the use of color, a concept-map diagram, explanatory sequences, uncovered assumptions and a focus on plain words. The Joy of Accounting is a breakthrough text that makes accounting easy for all types of learner. Its simplicity, lucid explanations and relaxed style appeal to anyone, regardless of prior experience. Authored with Mark Robilliard and with input from dozens of educators, the book is a standout contribution to business education. It draws on techniques refined in thousands of workshops and classes in schools, universities and workplaces. Mr Frampton was born in South Africa and has lived in Sydney Australia and Washington DC. He started several businesses in healthcare, technology and education, and founded an award-winning business incubator. He is on the adjunct faculty of American University in Washington DC and has been a guest lecturer at numerous other universities such as Georgetown, Wharton and Exeter, in the US, UK and Africa. He is based in Geneva, Switzerland where he loves being outdoors on his mountain bike.
