The organizational value of accountants and bookkeepers

Bookkeepers and accountants are a stabilizing influence within organizations.

While employees who directly perform an organization’s mission (doctors at hospitals, teachers in schools, product or service providers in retail organizations, etc.), number crunchers keep organizations focused on if and how the organization is financially viable going forward. That is stabilizing.

Number crunchers input incoming funds and manage accounts payable. We generate reports showing the financial functioning of an organization.

Organizational staff who aren’t number crunchers have varying views about their company’s accountants and bookkeepers. Sometimes, the number crunchers are viewed as the nagging “no” people (“No, we can’t afford to do X or Y”). Other times, staff are intimated by the mysterious money managers. Some staff admire and value the work of bookkeepers and accountants. For everyone, bookkeepers provide financial clarity and organizational stability.

Bookkeepers and accountants are useful professionals.
