What do accountants do?

I’m trying to understand what do accountants do on a daily basis because the role seems so broad. Do they only handle taxes, or do they work with budgeting, audits, and financial reports too? I’d love a simple explanation of their main responsibilities. If anyone can clarify, it would really help.

Accountants handle financial records, prepare reports, manage taxes, track expenses, and ensure everything follows legal and financial guidelines, basically keeping a business’s money organized and accurate.

Accountants do not simply deal with taxation, they also deal with budgets, financial documentation, reports, and audits in an attempt to ensure that finances of a business are precise and well-run.
