Chartered Accountants and Investment Bankers are both finance careers; however, they are very different. A Chartered Accountant is in charge of auditing accounts, providing advice, financial analysis, and revenue, among other things, while an investment banker is in charge of generating cash for their customers. An investment banker aids customers with debt restructuring, stock sales, and mergers and acquisitions. Auditing, taxes, financial, and general management are all areas of business and finance where chartered accountants operate. Investment bankers work for a financial institution and are primarily responsible for generating cash for businesses, governments, and other entities.
