Kimberly D stirred it up this past week when she shared a photo about the different responsibilities for a Bookkeeper vs Acountant (direct link to the post down in the Featured Posts section).
I couldn't agree with you more, Kate. One thing I would add to that is be mindful about how we refer to ourselves (bookkeeper or accountant). Here in Maryland I can call myself an accountant even though I'm not a CPA. However, if I go to Texas I cannot call myself an accountant because I'm not a CPA. I don't know if that carries in to what job duties we do or not.
