# keep track of expenses — Accountant

For an Accountant, 'keeping track of expenses' isn’t just data entry; it's the bedrock of financial reporting and auditability. Daily tasks involve meticulously recording all business expenditures – from invoices and receipts (physical *and* digital) to employee reimbursements and accruals. This means classifying transactions correctly using a Chart of Accounts, ensuring proper coding for tax purposes (VAT, sales tax etc.), and reconciling expense reports against bank statements & credit card activity. Tools are heavily software-driven: think QuickBooks, Xero, SAP, or even advanced Excel setups. It's about building a verifiable trail.
