A financial accountant who is part of the accounting department at an organization often keeps records of financial statements, supervises tax payments and maintains accounts. Financial accountants may work extensively with technology to compute, maintain and classify financial records. Financial accountants may also be responsible for reconciling billing vouchers and using software applications to make financial statements public, when applicable. Financial accountants may also be responsible for dealing with statistics and transactions as they pertain to equipment management, travel accounting, accounts payable and other finances, depending on the site at which the accountant works.
