How Does a Bookkeeper Differ from an Accountant?

The duties of bookkeepers and accountants often overlap. However, bookkeepers differ from accountants in that bookkeepers tend to work more with day-to-day financial activities. Bookkeepers record the routine financial transactions of a business, such as payments to vendors or checks from customers. Bookkeepers also process payroll, prepare financial statements for accountants, and produce reports and documents essential to tax filing.

Accountants, on the other hand, handle more macro-level functions. They formulate and manage financial systems that bookkeepers use. They produce monthly financial statements and prepare tax returns. Accountants may also perform cost analyses, prepare budgets, and produce loan proposals.

With that said, I often design and implement financial systems for my clients. I help prepare their taxes. I also do cost-benefit analyses and financial assessments, identifying and eliminating redundancies and inefficiences.
