The job of an accountant is more than just the numbers. Many people think that accountants simply crunch numbers and prepare financial statements and tax returns. But new accountants learn quickly that there is so much more to the job than that.

The most important thing to remember with accounting is that it is an organizational function. It’s about taking the money that comes into the organization and putting it with the right accounts.

Accounting's major role is to track the financial activities of individuals, businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations. This process is called "accounting" and includes preparing accounting statements. These statements are used for analyzing conditions, evaluating performance, making management decisions, and meeting external regulations.

As a business owner, you’ve probably heard many stories about the accounting industry. You’ve probably heard that accountants are boring, boring, boring. I’m here to tell you that accountants are not boring. If you expect your accountant to create money from thin air like a magician, you will be disappointed. I hope you feel more comfortable talking to your accountant, and help your business be more successful.

So there's a lot going on here. As you can see, the above text is actually a fairly simple introduction to a much more complicated subject. Accounting is a huge topic, and there are so many branches and specialties within it. Take VAT, for example, which is a super complicated subject and one that I know nothing about. I simplified the subject by using a general intro.
