BEYOND THE BEANS: Strategies for succ...
In Beyond the Beans, KC Rottok Chesaina challenges the outdated stereotype of accountants as mere "bean counters" and celebrates their transformation into influential leaders who shape both business strategies and societal outcomes. The book explores how accountants, once confined to managing financial figures, now play pivotal roles. These financial professionals leverage their expertise to drive growth, innovation, and long-term success in both the private and public sectors.
Central to this transformation is the theme of grit, resilience, and perseverance. Many of the leaders featured have overcome significant challenges, illustrating how tenacity enables accountants to thrive in high-pressure environments. The book also highlights the importance of self-mastery, continuous growth, and empathy in leadership, showing how successful finance professionals are lifelong learners who lead with compassion and authenticity. The conversations stem from one-on-one interviews with CEOs, CFOs, Financial Managers and the leadership of prominent audit firms.
The book includes commentary from the profession’s pioneers Wiseman Nkuhlu, Nonkululeko Gobodo and Jeff Van Rooyen. Diversity, inclusion, and transformation are also key themes, as the profession evolves to reflect a more inclusive and equitable environment. Whether in the private or public sector, accountants are now at the forefront of decision-making, guiding organisations through change and making a meaningful impact on society. Beyond the Beans portrays accountants as leaders who are planting the seeds for a better future.

At 10 p.m. on July 11, 2022, a deafening explosion on Langata Road echoed through the air as a car somersaulted over the tarmac, careening through three different roads before coming to a rest, an overturned wreck. Kimulwon Chesaina’s life ended abruptly, leaving a trail of mourning hearts in its wake. What were the events that led to this calamitous incident? Who was Kimulwon, beyond the headlines and the accident report? What were the triumphs and tribulations that defined his forty-eight-year existence? In this unvarnished narrative, meticulously documented by his sole brother, we journey through the intricate tapestry of Kimulwon's life.
We delve into themes ranging from a historical connection with the formidable Moi family, to the scars of childhood trauma, the dynamics of political patronage, the complexities of love and separation, the battle for mental well-being, the shackles of generational patterns, the trials and triumphs of entrepreneurship, the call to public service, and the quintessence of ‘I went to Alliance’.
This compelling account lifts the veil on a life that was both celebrated and challenged and will leave an indelible imprint on the hearts and minds of those who immerse themselves in this must-read narrative.
