Who wouldn't say "numbers" and whether they add up to be legitimate or not? Mathematics is the fundamental knowledge being applied by an accountant. Most legal entities just want to obey the laws and report a proper mathematical accounting of their operations, whether personnal, corporate or nonprofit organizational in nature.

If a person is doing Bookeeping they are a bookeeper, if they are doing Accounting they are an accountant.\n\nA Bookeeper performs a Bookeeping cycle I guess you could say eg: Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable etc.  The full Bookeeper is someone who can do it all - compiling data into the General Ledger and preparing Financial statements.\n\nAn Accountant is someone who sets up the bookeeping system, monitors it and interpret the results. Maybe you could say they oversee the bookeeper.\n\nI am not an Accountant nor Bookeeper we have our own business and we have both an accountant and a Bookeeper and this is what they do for us.  Hope this helps.

I am well agreed with the answer of Edna T.\nAccounting is a profession that involves lot of responsibilities and lot of authorities. When somebody has authority to do something then there are more chances to misuse the sources.\nAs accountants have authority so they should also being controlled by an independent authority that formulate the rules and bounderies for them, in order to run the work smoothly and without misconceptions.\nThe worldwide governing body for accounts is "International Federation of Accountants" IFAC\nand there are lot of óther local bodies of every country.

As a person working in Accounting without an Accounting degree I can say that it is truly a profession for people with great attention to detail.  It is not really a job for someone who thrives on interaction with others, because so much of the work involves just quietly sitting at your desk plugging away on Excel spreadsheets and accounting software.\n\nI was never a math whiz, but accounting doesn't require math  wizardry, just an understanding of basic concepts (debit/credit, etc) and an eye for detail.\n\nThe good thing is, if you have those qualities you will always have a job because every business needs an accountant.
