Types of accounting services
Financial accounting or bookkeeping
Financial accounting or reporting is producing financial statements for external use. These are generated to show an entity’s past performance and current financial position.
Management accounting
Management accountants produce information mainly for internal use by a business’ management. It is usually more detailed than financial statements for external use.
Financial advisory
A financial advisor provides investment advice and financial planning services. Usually their main role is to better an individual, organisation or government’s financial position or situation.
With many different types of accountants to choose from, it’s important to first determine what problem you are looking to solve. However, it can be beneficial to have an accountant handy for the long-haul to give you advice and manage your finances throughout the different stages of your life.
