"A bookkeeper records the financial transactions of an organization and takes care of day-to-day functions such as recording sales and invoices, paying bills and processing payroll," Stephens said. "Accountants take the financial data and analyze it to help organizations make financial decisions."

The bookkeeper will start the day by organizing and updating financial records, such as invoices, receipts and bank statements. Inputting data into accounting software. This can range dependant on the companies choice, examples like QuickBooks, SAGE etc to keep track of expenses and income. Reconciling of accounts.
