“Only accountants can save the world—through peace, goodwill and reconciliations” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many gift items.  “Goodwill” and “reconciliation” are accounting terms.
 
A mug was first sold on Zazzle on May 29, 2010, but the ending was “Through Peace and Reconciliations” (leaving out “goodwill”). A T-shirt was first sold on Zazzle on May 16, 2011 and a poster was first sold on Zazzle on May 17, 2011.

Birthday Gifts for Accountants
Posted by Livia Movilescu on Nov 13, 2010
You all believe that an accountant is a boring and introverted person. Well, no matter how surprising this might sound, they’re not. So, if you are looking to buy a birthday gift for an accountant, look for something smart, funny and useful. This is the only way you will not fail. For example, take a look at these mugs. They are hilarious and perfect to lighten up your day. “Only accountants can save the world”, “I’m an accountant celebrity” or “I <3 being audited”, you can print all kind of funny yet interesting messages.
