Accountant Jobs in Michigan

An Accountant is a vital figure in the accounting industry, responsible for preparing, analyzing, and verifying financial documents to provide accurate data for individuals and businesses. Key duties include preparing tax returns, auditing accounts, and producing financial reports, along with consulting on various aspects of business performance, such as costs, revenues, and investments.
