When it comes to business’ finance, many people, especially those who don’t have background education in accounting and finance, often mistook a bookkeeper for an accountant. Although both the accountant and the bookkeeper play vital roles in a business’ finance department, bookkeepers and accountants alike will tell you that there is a huge difference between what they do.

Knowing and understanding the difference among the roles your employees have in your business operation is imperative in running a business. Often times, small businesses fail due to the lack of understanding of these roles resulting to the overlapping of duties and responsibilities, confusion in filing, unclear chain of commands and authority, and unorganized flow business. Especially in the finance and accounting department where numbers and documentations representing money are involved, confusion is the last thing a business owner would want.

Accountants are professionals who are responsible for taking care of the over-all financial statements, balance sheets, statements of cash flows, loss and profit statements as well as income statements. There are different types of accountants. Business accountants, tax accountants and certified public accountants are the ones who usually perform accounting duties for a company. The person responsible for taking care of the general ledger, on the other hand, is called the bookkeeper. He is the individual responsible in keeping track of the money that goes into and out of the company. His job may not require calculations that are as extensive as that of an accountant’s and one may only need knowledge in basic math to keep track of the money flow.

Businesses come in different forms and pictures. Before, when we say “I have a business”, we refer to a place where you do exchange of goods for a certain amount of money. However, things have changed a lot because of technology, giving business a new definition.

Now, business, still connected to finance, can be done with just a laptop at hand and an internet connection while traditional businesses remain to be existent. Having a business is now given several definitions and be seen in different perspectives.
