The main role of an accountant is to prepare accounts for businesses or individuals, which may then be used to give an overview of their financial position. When a company’s transactions are tracked and recorded in a coherent way, any irregularities, liabilities or risks can be spotted and dealt with appropriately. Whilst accounting and finance roles tend to vary depending on the sector, general accountant duties include:

- Managing financial risks or suspected fraud
- Calculating tax owed and filing tax forms
