An accountant is a person who keeps track of how a business spends its money, gives advice about spending money, and often makes sure the company is paying a correct amount of tax to the government each year. All businesses have to report to the government how much money they make and pay a correct amount of tax. Some companies only use an accountant when they are reporting their income to the government and need to figure out how much tax they have to pay. People who have regular jobs also use accountants sometimes if their money affairs are complicated.
The company's accountant finished her report showing how much money the company made or spent over the past year. The report also showed what types of things the company was spending its money on so that the heads of the company could see if they could spend their money in better ways in the next year.- similar words:
