Accountant Career Specializations
Public accountants have the broadest range of duties. They meet with clients-who can be individuals, non-profits, governments or corporations-to dispense tax advice or to prepare income tax returns. They might also offer advice regarding the ways in which a business is run-for instance, discussing different employee health care options. Others certify a company's or an individual's financial records to report that they are in order.
Management accountants work for a single company and are responsible for budgeting and evaluation of financial resources. They might prepare reports for stockholders and creditors, and interpret financial information for the benefit of executive decisions.
Government accountants and auditors are entrusted with government records and with those of private businesses which have dealings with the government.
Internal auditors are hired by a company to determine how to best save money. They implement systems meant to limit fraud and waste, and formulate policies based on the detailed examination of a company's records.
