WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ACCOUNTANT AND A BOOKKEEPER?

Think of the bookkeeper as the micro-manager of your financial life, your accountant is the macro-manager. Bookkeepers are the bean counters, they add up all of your income, all of your expenses, reconcile your accounts, and interface with you on much detail oriented level. Your accountants are the ones who prepare your tax returns, help you apply for loans, and prepare and analyze larger scope financial models and projections.
