Management Accountants are, like a normal accountant, tasked with keeping tabs on a company’s finances.
However, where these differ from regular accountants is in their level of authority and responsibility. They often manage junior-level team members overseeing more simplistic financial tasks, and do more than just keep track of income and expenses.
Instead, it’s their job to look at that data and interpret it to provide insight to higher-ups, ensuring that the business is on the right track financially. This type of accountant has a high degree of responsibility, as they have to collate data on their company’s finances for use in internal reviews.
They also advise directors and upper management on investments, helping them decide where to invest to benefit the company most. Providing the insight and advice that these high-level executives need to make crucial decisions, this type of account are instrumental in dictating a business’ financial direction. They help to shape budgets, forecast future performance and work on establishing a financial strategy, helping to keep their employer on the right track.
In smaller companies, these accountants may do more of the low-level accountancy work themselves, but will still have an important role in determining the direction of the business’ spending and investments.
By extension, they perform these tasks on your company’s behalf, negating the need to employ someone full-time within your organisation.
