I'm an accountant, so should know something... should caution that baby brain might be in the way!

( bit further off topic butttt....Ahh your from Cheshire where a bouts?? I'm originally from there and moving back soon, yeay!! )

Anyway I was wondering more about the career side of accounts/book keeping. Like if anyone could give me an insight into what its like doing the role.

I get the profit and loss sheets and the balance sheets etc I'm just wondering how you go from having money in a till to records of transactions?

Is it a case of looking over transactions on the till taking that information and typing it up? or is it more a profile based on profits (with unknown products sold unless you look at the stock checks to see?) and therefore you just do an outline summary? as it were?

If this makes any sense?

Thanking you.
