Of course, today the "books" are on computer programs and software. Very few accountants still take care of business finances by using paper and pen. It is not as safe and human error can cause more problems than a computer malfunction. When it comes to things like finances and numbers, a computer will generally do a better job than a regular person with some accounting training. Many organizations will use their accountants to take care of all financial reports, taxes, analyses, and projects for the future of the company.
Accountants will use computer programs and software to help them work with economic data, recording, measuring, and interpreting figures from the documents of the company. They will prepare all of the tax forms and financial statements that are related to the customers' accounts according to the system that the company has in place. Without the proper accounting measures in place, productivity suffers and the company could fail completely. They are crucial to the financial success of any company.
Financial files will contain the financial data and this information will be held for many years as the company usually keeps records for an extended period. Some will keep them for many years, while others will put a cap on their old files of about two to three years, while archiving the rest for retrieval only under special circumstances, such as an audit.
An experienced accountant will be able to catch many flaws and faults in a system that is in place. They will be able to fix problems that inexperienced accountants may have made that caused some problems in the company. Some people simply have a natural talent for seeing the numbers and calculating them in their head. It is harder for others. Either way, when someone determines that this is the career they want to do and they put in the time and effort to learning all they can about it, they may begin to find new ways of doing things to make it even easier. There is a great deal of variability in the way finances can be controlled.
Some financial institutions, like banks, have ways of handling their funds that are unlike other similar businesses. When there are changes of accounting and finance rules, businesses should always stay on top and current. Computer software is updated every couple of years. The accounting field is always making necessary adjustments to keep up with the fluctuations in the laws and taxes.
