original_response: well  you can use the phrase financial reporter as accountant synonymously and you can get away with it!
history: I work as an accountant. Have you ever needed to hire an accountant? No, but I can tell you that the modern field was established by an Italian mathematician named Luca Pacioli in the 1400s. Wow, I had no idea they've been around so long. I've only been working for a few months since I finished school. Do you know what kind of things they do? They do things like measure processes and communicate on financial information of businesses and corporations. Sounds good, I'm just book keeping at the moment. Some of my colleagues say we're financial reporting, is that the same as accounting?
knowledge: The terms ''accounting'' and ''financial reporting'' are often used as synonyms.
