It depends on who your accountant is. Younger ones yes I'd agree with you. Older ones not at all.
I was a CPA for 60 years. I did everything. Not just bookkeeping but business valuations, business investigations, insurance advice, loan advice, & financial advice, was a licenced insurance, mortgage, finance broker and adviser, gave lectures at local schools, established business entities like partnerships, companies, trusts. Gave advice to lawyers when they asked for it which was quite often. Etc. Etc.
I created a mind map of different things I did for clients over the years. It had over 100 items on it.
That was back then when we all did a form of apprenticeship ( worked all day then school at night) to become accountants.
I just hopped aboard the January Ship 30 for 30 cohort from @dickiebush and @nicolascole77!
