What does an accountant do?
An accountant plays an important role as the financial backbone of any business, large or small. They prepare and examine financial records, make sure that transactions are accurate, and that taxes are paid on time.
Accountants use numbers and financial statements to tell business owners of the health of their company, analyzing profits and losses. This information forms the basis of a company’s report and legal filing reports.
Their duties include:
- Determining payroll requirements
- Interacting with auditors to complete audits
- Preparing and reviewing budgets, revenue, payroll entries, invoices, expenses and other accounting documents
- Preparing profit and loss statements and monthly closing and cost accounting reports
- Compiling and analyzing financial information to prepare entries to accounts, such as general ledger accounts, and documenting business transactions.
- Supervising the input and handling of financial data and reports for the company’s automated financial systems.
