The square format was intentional to give the book a distinctive physical presence – setting it apart from traditional business materials that are generally A4 portrait. This gives a more approachable, modern, and design-led feel, which aligns perfectly with the book’s mission to challenge outdated thinking in the accountancy space.
The 200-page book takes a modern, energetic visual style to tackle what could otherwise be dense or dry content. Its goal—to reframe strategic thinking in accountancy—is successfully echoed in the design through a vibrant colour palette, bold typography, playful yet professional illustrations, and a clear grid-based layout system.
