Accounting is relevant and essential in the world of business; it is actually: "the language of business". No business can function without accounting, it wouldn’t know whether it is making profit or losing money! Accounting plays a big role in your personal financial affairs also, and we’re not referring to the annual tax return alone, but everybody is doing accounting just by making entries in the checkbook or signing a mortgage.
As a business owner, you need to have some knowledge of accounting to understand how business works, but when it comes to financial statements and other accounting reports, tax returns, internal controls, budgeting, mergers, etc. etc, even a very small business needs at least a part-time accountant (of course, we should not forget about another essential aspect of accounting - the bookkeeping - which is the detailed recording of economic activity and business transactions).
CWA can help you with all aspects of accounting, including payroll, auditing and taxation.
