So you mean doing something like this in the application controller?
  def current_user
    User.find_by_id(session[:user_id])
  end

I use the user id, the account id, the account name and the account id 
in several parts of the application. Everytime I need to access the data 
I have to add something like this on each controller method...

class AccountsController < ApplicationController
  # GET /accounts
  # GET /accounts.xml
  def index
    @accounts = Account.all

    @company_id = User.find(session[:user_id]).account.id
    @company_name = User.find(session[:user_id]).account.name
    @company_address_one = 
User.find(session[:user_id]).account.address_one
    @company_address_two = 
User.find(session[:user_id]).account.address_two
    @company_city = User.find(session[:user_id]).account.city
    @company_state = User.find(session[:user_id]).account.state
    @company_zip = User.find(session[:user_id]).account.zip
    @company_web_address = 
User.find(session[:user_id]).account.web_address
    @company_phone_number_office = 
User.find(session[:user_id]).account.phone_number_office
    @company_phone_number_fax = 
User.find(session[:user_id]).account.phone_number_fax

How can I make the company name available to all views with something 
like this... @company_name
