Bookkeeper vs. Accountant
So what is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant anyway?
Generally, bookkeepers handle the daily financial tasks—tracking debits & credits, managing payroll, issuing invoices, paying the bills, reconciling accounts, and more.
They oversee the flow of money in and out of the business.
Accountants, on the other hand, take the data provided by bookkeepers and analyze it. They can help develop financial strategies, offer advice on accounts as well as file for state & federal taxes.
Accounting services emphasize the broader, analytical aspects of finances, whereas bookkeeping focuses on managing daily operations and ensuring data is accurately recorded 👍
