Can you explain the difference between a Bookkeeper and an Accountant?

•Yes. A bookkeeper focuses on recording daily financial transactions—like sales, purchases, receipts, and payments. They keep the books accurate and up to date. An accountant takes that information and uses it to prepare financial statements, analyze data, and help with tax planning and decision-making. Bookkeepers handle the day-to-day; accountants interpret the bigger picture
