Difference between career in finance and in accounting
Accounting is essentially subset of finance, in terms of discipline. However if we see the career path and the kind of role played in both the disciplines, it differs considerably. Accounting involves data measuring, filling and mainteanance of financial statements i.e income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, hence financial position of a firm can be assessed. People who specialize these activities are designated as accountants. An accountant is expected to keep track of company’s transactions, tax paid records etc accurately. The analysis and communication of financial information of various companies, is also categorized as the role performed by accountants. Many accountants also do budget analysis, financial planning, IT consulting and some legal services like auditing. The auditer typically audits the financial reports of the firms, and give independent opinion on whether the information given in the statements is accurate and free from material errors.
