Accountants are financial professionals who handle bookkeeping, financial reporting, and tax preparation, but they are not required to hold a specific state license or certification.

CPAs (Certified Public Accountants) are state-licensed professionals who have passed the rigorous Uniform CPA Exam and must adhere to strict state education and ethics requirements.

The Key Difference: Only a CPA is legally authorized to sign audited financial statements and fully represent clients before the IRS during tax audits and appeals.
