Accounting is one of the backbones of the modern world, and the backbone of business. Behind every successful company is a skilled accountant – who understands how to use their knowledge of finance, mathematics, statistics, and economics to grow a business.

It looks specifically at the daily flow of money in and out of a business, keeping an eye on the balance and avoiding any future challenges.
