Basically they work for a company or sometimes rich individuals, to manage their money. They make sure the company or individual knows how much money they can spend on different things and work out how much tax or insurance they have to pay.
Although sometimes they go on holiday, sleep, eat, have kids, visit their parents... |

If you are self employed an accountant will prepare your books so that your tax can be worked out. An accountant can save you money by claiming legitimate allowances that you may not know about.
If you have a company employing people but not big enough for a wages department and accountant can prepare your wage commitment.
An accountant can advise you when you are spending too much money and devaluing the assets of your business.
An accountant covers most money related matters pertaining to business and complicated personal tax affairs. |
