Accountants prepare and review financial records, manage tax compliance and produce statutory accounts. UK employers split roles by qualification — AAT for assistant grades; ACA, ACCA or CIMA for qualified positions. Industry, practice and public-sector roles all run in parallel; remote and hybrid working is common at qualified level.
