A surprising number of individuals and business owners do not understand what their accountant does. As a result, many people find that the services they engage their accountant to perform are not the services they expected to receive. In short, there is an "expectations gap.". This is intended to narrow the expectations gap by explaining some of the key services an accountant provides (and does not provide) in connection with financial statements, income tax returns, and consulting engagements.
